Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan
4.25
adventurous dark emotional fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This felt like a debut in many ways, but it was fresh and fun and by the time the book closed I had fallen in love with several of the characters. The main pairing the book was so delightful, I feel very invested in where this series can go. I loved a lot of the choices it made in where to NOT go with the narrative/storyline. I respected it quite a lot even when the writing dipped into feeling a bit amateur or overdone. I could see the writing getting a lot stronger as the series goes. Definitely invested in it!
