Hello! I am back with another book review! I read this book in late Novmeber-Early December. I got it through my November OwlCrate Subscription!
What the book is about:
Each year eight beautiful girls are chosen as ‘Paper Girls’ to serve the demon king. It’s the highest honor they could hope for…..and the most cruel.
A girl named Lei is of the Paper (human) caste and is chosen as the ninth girl to become a ‘Paper Girl’ to serve the demon king. Lei is chosen because of her unusual gold eyes. It is the highest honor for paper girls. But Lei falls in love with another paper girl and it could spell trouble for them both.
My thoughts:
I gave this book a 5/5 stars! I love the world and Natasha’s writing just flows so easily. She did give trigger warnings at the beginning of the book about scenes of violence and sexual assault. I think authors need to start putting trigger warnings at the beginning of their books to be honest.
Now I will give you another trigger warning; there is an animal death in the book. It happens near the beginning. I wish I was warned because I almost didn’t read the rest of the book because of it.
I love that is has LGBTQ+ aspects in it! And really it doesn’t really say anything bad about the relationship at all. The only negative thing is that the demon king could kill them because he wants the ‘Paper Girls’ to himself.
I love how strong some of the characters become in this book, especially Lei. I really can’t wait to see how her story continues in book two!
