Girls of Paper and Fire, by Natasha Ngan, is set in a world brimming with

demons, living alongside humans. As our story begins, Lei is taken from her home to

become one of the king’s concubines, a Paper Girl; girls from the lowest caste, fully

human. When Lei arrives at the palace, she discovers that she has no hope, not of

escaping, not of ever seeing her family again, and not of ever having a choice again.

She soon starts to feel something is different about one of the other girls. Lei begins to

realize that she has something that the king can never take away from her.



I loved this book because it talks about so many real life issues masterfully

woven into a fantasy world. I also love how most characters show resilience, though

each in their own way. I read this book because my cousin recommended it to me. I

would recommend this book to any teen who wants a beautiful yet disturbing read.
