A great way to end this trilogy. Paper Girls is a truly under hyped series about resilience, strength and the bonds of love we choose.

After my lukewarm feelings toward [b:Girls of Storm and Shadow|43558747|Girls of Storm and Shadow (Girls of Paper and Fire, #2)|Natasha Ngan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1559061330l/43558747._SX50_.jpg|67765866], I was nervous going into this series finale. But I'm really glad to say that the former was just middle book syndrome at its finest. [b:Girls of Fate and Fury|44246137|Girls of Fate and Fury (Girls of Paper and Fire, #3)|Natasha Ngan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1614437373l/44246137._SX50_.jpg|68778326] managed to redeem the series and more.

I loved that we finally get Wren POV after everything. It was definitely the right time to include it after everything from the previous two books. It wouldn't have made as much sense in the earlier books, but it definitely did now.

Throughout the entire book, both Lei and Wren had to carve their own way in a world that wanted to dominate them and force them into roles, and far more than in the previous two books. I loved seeing them play out the trope that when two characters are separated, they aim to be more like each other. Both Lei and Wren definitely needed this shift in perspective.

The feminism in this one was so strong as well. I loved seeing the ways women across all castes managed to overcome those boundaries and stick up for and protect each other. It reminded me a lot of [b:Cinderella Is Dead|43900612|Cinderella Is Dead|Kalynn Bayron|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1574698353l/43900612._SY75_.jpg|68309452], especially going into the ending and all the reforms that needed to be made.

When I was reading [b:Girls of Storm and Shadow|43558747|Girls of Storm and Shadow (Girls of Paper and Fire, #2)|Natasha Ngan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1559061330l/43558747._SX50_.jpg|67765866] I thought that this probably wouldn't be a series I'd feel any need or want to reread, but after [b:Girls of Fate and Fury|44246137|Girls of Fate and Fury (Girls of Paper and Fire, #3)|Natasha Ngan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1614437373l/44246137._SX50_.jpg|68778326] I'm rethinking that. While I loved [a:Allison Hiroto|5299009|Allison Hiroto|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s narration, I also wouldn't be opposed to reading this one on paper, and I don't think visual reading would take away from the experience the way it might with some other audiobooks I've read. [b:Girls of Fate and Fury|44246137|Girls of Fate and Fury (Girls of Paper and Fire, #3)|Natasha Ngan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1614437373l/44246137._SX50_.jpg|68778326] was easily my favorite in the series, and I loved how much all the characters grew.
