"But what the Demon King and his court do not understand is that paper is flammable.
And there is a fire catching among us.”

TW: Rape and Sexual Assault.

This book is dark. I wasn’t expecting it to be so intense, especially for a YA, so I guess that can make it not everyones cup of tea.
I did enjoy it overall, I liked the world building and the forbidden love.

I wish the characters of Wren and Lei were more fleshed out than they were.

A harrowing tale of love and loss. Loss of self and innocence. Some politics and power woven into the story. It is a story of a young woman finding her way through a flawed caste system in which the odds are not in her favor. After meeting what would be described as the love of her life she will go through events that will change her life and the life of those she’s come to love and care about.

Beautifully written and gracefully takes on dark / heavy topics. The plot was captivating and the world building (it’s a Malaysian inspired fantasy) was really cool and was integrated into the story naturally.

Although there is an abundance of trigger warnings and very heavy / dark topics within this book, they’re done with grace and class. They are not there for shock factor or anything like that. That being said, because of these triggers and topics, this book might not be right for everyone.
