"If I have learned anything since this war began, it is that souls are messy, imperfect things. Even the most beautiful of them have the capacity to be cruel."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Girls of Fate and Fury is the third and final book in the Girls of Paper and Fire series by Natasha Ngan. The series follows two girls who are forced concubines to the Demon King, called Paper Girls, who are involved I the rebellion against the Demon Court's terrible rule.
This book, and the series as a whole, was such a challenging story that took me on an emotional roller coaster. It made me question myself because I loved these deeply flawed characters who made such awful decisions but did so for what they felt were the right reasons. Ngan is not afraid to catapult your heart right out of your chest, and I really didn't know where she was going to take the characters, whether it would be good or bad and to what extent. This is explores more of thr magic in the world than previously developed, which added even more to the intrigue.
I absolutely loved the ride this book took me on. One minute my heart was melting for the romance between characters, and the next I'm biting my nails wondering what could go wrong next for them. The feminist undertones, and LGBTQ representation are very present, and I love how they played into the plot. This is a series I can see myself enjoying again in the future, especially when I'm in need of a good heart wrencher.
