dimsumpuppy 's review for:
Girls of Fate and Fury
by Natasha Ngan
Honestly the strongest thing in these books is Ngan’s ability to write solid, loving, nuanced relationships between characters who, despite unknowable tragedy, choose each other and fight anyway. She once again writes an intimate portrait of sexual trauma & gender-based/caste-based oppression that can sometimes read unnecessarily brutal for its audience, regardless of the war.
Points off for a lot of last minute twists that feel like throwaways because of their placement & the amount of times self harm or suicide become substantial plot devices. Otherwise, big fan of the “bury your gays” trope subversion and our two favorite Ikharan warrior princesses making a place for peace in the end.
