I binge-read this book in a day because it was super entertaining and the worldbuilding captured me. I don’t usually praise settings in a book, but this one did such a great job describing each location enough to where I could envision it without thinking too hard on it. It is a book with heavy topics so keep the warnings in mind, but I enjoyed the main character’s vitality and fierceness against the system around her. The plot was also well paced, and I loved the little cliffhanger it left off on, leaving me wanting more. I can’t wait to see where she goes next in the next book. 

OH! And the ✨🏳️‍🌈 sapphic representation?? Chef’s kiss. It was built up well and I’m so glad they didn’t just have them together and then one is 💀- I loved it and as a sapphic, I fell in love with their relationship and hope to see it continue into the series.

If fantasy, female empowerment with sapphic flavoring are your favs in a book, please read Girls of Paper and Fire!
