Perfect for you if...

You love slow-burn sapphic romance woven through high-stakes fantasy politics and don't mind your love story paired with actual danger.
You want Asian-inspired worldbuilding that feels lived-in and specific, not just window dressing on a generic fantasy setting.
You're drawn to stories where marginalized characters actively resist their oppression rather than simply endure it.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your romance to be the entire focus and find political intrigue or resistance plotting distracting from relationship development.
You want straightforward good-versus-evil fantasy without moral complexity or systemic oppression as a central theme.
You're looking for standalone YA with minimal cliffhangers, as this book plants hooks for sequels.

About this book

Girls of Paper and Fire is a fantasy novel set in the Asian-inspired world of Ikhara. Lei belongs to the Paper caste, the lowest and most persecuted class in her society. She lives in a remote village with her father, carrying the trauma of her mother's abduction by royal guards years earlier. When the guards return to take Lei herself—drawn by rumors of her golden eyes and beauty—she is brought to the palace for training. There, Lei and eight other girls learn the skills and refinement expected of a king's consort. During her time in the opulent but oppressive palace, Lei falls in love, an act forbidden by her circumstances. Her romance becomes entangled with a dangerous plot that could upend the foundations of her world. Lei must confront how far she is willing to go in pursuit of justice and revenge.
