I listened to an audiobook version of girls of paper and fire and I highly recommend the audiobook version. The reader was excellent.

Just a note: This is a f/f romance, which I didn’t realize before I started reading. And there is rape present as well in case that is a trigger for anyone. But the audiobook does a great job of warning you of that before the story starts

The story was pretty magical. I loved the world and the idea of a birth stone that opens up when someone turns 18 to reveal their fate so to speak. This world is divided into castes, paper are human all the way up to moon caste which aRe demons.

The demon king selects 8 paper girls a yeaR to join his court and serve as his concubines. The story revolves around lei who hates the king and moon caste Bc they stole her mother from their small remote town in a raid several years before the story begins. When Lei is taken as a paper girl because of her “lucky” gold eyes but her real purpose at the palace is to find out what happened to her mother.

This story was exciting and beautifully written. It is easy to get swept up in Natasha’s writing.
