Girls of Paper and Fire was one of my favorite reads last year, partially because I adored this Asian fantasy that actually encompasses all of Asia and not just East Asia. I loved returning to this world and these characters.
( tw’s for discussions about sexual abuse, violence, and scenes/discussions of trauma recovery) Girls of Storm and Shadow is a stunning sequel, one that heals and steals your breath away. Then I had to mentally prepare myself to start this book, and I was not disappointed. It had been a while since I read the first book, so I had to take a bit of a break to reread Girls of Paper and Fire. Girls of Storm and Shadow was one of my most anticipated releases of 2019, and I honestly screamed on the inside when I received an ARC in the mail. Wren and I might not be Paper Girls anymore, but we are still capable of creating fire.Īnd now we have a whole world to set ablaze. Read my review of book one, Girls of Paper and Fire. Will Lei succeed in her quest to overthrow the monarchy and protect her love for Wren, or will she fall victim to the sinister magic that seeks to destroy her?
Meanwhile, an evil plot to eliminate the rebel uprising is taking shape, fueled by dark magic and vengeance. The journey is made even more treacherous thanks to a heavy bounty on Lei’s head, as well as insidious doubts that threaten to tear Lei and Wren apart from within. Now Lei and her warrior love Wren must travel the kingdom to gain support from the far-flung rebel clans. But slaying the cruel Demon King wasn’t the end of the plan-it’s just the beginning. Lei, the naive country girl who became a royal courtesan, is now known as the Moonchosen, the commoner who managed to do what no one else could. Summary: In this mesmerizing sequel to the New York Times bestselling Girls of Paper and Fire, Lei and Wren have escaped their oppressive lives in the Hidden Palace, but soon learn that freedom comes with a terrible cost.
