Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan
5.0
Oh my goodness, where to start with this book? The setting was so lush and well-developed, and the writing was gorgeous. The themes got pretty heavy and dark at times, but the topics of oppression and female agency in a male-dominated society are super important.
All of the characters were super complex, and I especially liked the twist on the “vapid mean girl” trope when it came to Blue. I read this book over the course of several weeks due to how busy I was, so I regrettably didn’t get as immersed as I would have liked, but overall this was a stunning read.
