She lives in a remote village with her father, where the decade-old trauma of watching her mother snatched by royal guards for an unknown fate still haunts her. Now, the guards are back and this time it's Lei they're after -- the girl with the golden eyes whose rumored beauty has piqued the king's interest. Over weeks of training in the opulent but oppressive palace, Lei and eight other girls learns the skills and charm that befit a king's consort.
There, she does the unthinkable -- she falls in love. Her forbidden romance becomes enmeshed with an explosive plot that threatens her world's entire way of life. Lei, still the wide-eyed country girl at heart, must decide how far she's willing to go for justice and revenge.

How does the sexual abuse play a role in the book and how vivid is the description? Natasha Ngan Hi! Thank you for your question. Just sharing my answer to someone who asked this on my author page : GIRLS does explore sexual assault and the trauma …more Hi!
Just sharing my answer to someone who asked this on my author page : GIRLS does explore sexual assault and the traumatic aftermath, so it's a theme throughout the book. However I've tried to write it as delicately and respectfully as possible, so the scenes are in my opinion girls of paper and fire pdf download graphic, but the characters do talk and think about what happened afterwards.
I didn't write it with the intention to distress or shock readers - it's written with love and care, and I myself am a sexual abuse survivor. Ultimately though it's a very personal thing, girls of paper and fire pdf download, so I can't tell you whether you will or won't be affected by reading it.
Perhaps you can only read it on good days when you feel strong and not too vulnerable? Hope that helps!

So, what's this book about? In Ikhara, the world our protagonist Lei inhabits, there are three castes: Moon, the reigning caste that is entirely demon; Paper, the downtrodden caste that is wholly human and Steel, who are endowed with both demon and human elements.
When Lei is dragged from her small village to be a Paper Girl, the only reassuring talisman against her new jarring reality is finding her mother who has been similarly taken years before. Now fear and the threat of sexual violence is a tight undercurrent through everything, but it was tempered with hope—and relief when Lei meets Wren, another Paper Girl with a feline grace and many unspoken secrets.
The very title we're given suggests that we are blank, waiting to be filled. But what the Demon King and his court do not understand is that paper is flammable. And there is a fire catching among us. Lei and Wren have a friendship forged in the heat of a battle against their abusers which later engenders a feverish romance, born of mutual respect.
Seriously, the sheer amount of sapphic content in this book warmed the hollows inside my heart! They tell me: You are strong, Lei. You are beautiful. You are girls of paper and fire pdf download. And, always, most important: You are yours. It also felt like the book seemed to know exactly where it wanted to end up but completely insouciant about how it got there and as a result, some scenes took on a numbing sameness and the story felt riddled with repetition almost as often as it felt exciting and engaging, girls of paper and fire pdf download.
With all that aside, girls of paper and fire pdf download, there are many aspects of the book that I think demand deeper examination: Ngan weaves in powerful themes of self-empowerment and self-love, identity and self-discovery, while fervently denouncing classism, homophobia, and the objectifying of women. Ikhara is a society where misogynist sadists flourish because misogyny is justified as tradition, maleness comes with a presumption of violence and women are perceived as public property and less deserving of basic rights than men.
This book prompts you to not only think about rape through the moral lens of lust, depravity and shame but as a violence that is born from power and not desire. The Moon king uses fear as his medium and his position of power as an enabler to carry out this girls of paper and fire pdf download of violence not because of any uncontrollable urges of sexual desire, but because wrenching these girls from their homes and raping them makes him feel power over them—and ultimately over their castes.
The images are haunting, the topic is difficult, but sadly all too believable and too reminiscent of our real world. This tradition of Paper Girls has generated decades of women hurtling headlong in silence, no reflection, no echo, no self—because rapists were handed license to operate and keep their victims silent, ashamed and without justice.
But as these women's paths cross during the most vicious and traumatizing event in their lives, they will learn from and teach each other all the shades and colors of strength and endurance.
The focus on recovering from trauma, forging a functional self out of the wreckage and reclaiming your body, too, is powerful. And over the course of this book, we see these women grow even further into deep, multi-dimensional characters who were not beholden to the story of the men around them, but rather had their own agency on full display.

We might be Paper Girls, easily torn and written upon. I mean, I think I knew this had My Exact Vibes from the first time I heard of it. May and Ju and I kept calling this the angsty gaysians book, but I feel like I should give a proper blurb. Girls of Paper and Fire follows two Chinese-Malaysian girls, Lei and Wren, who meet and fall in love while essentially working as sex slaves under a demon king.
Something that really stands out to me about this is the gorgeous setting depictions and, in general, sensuous writing. This is shockingly gorgeous, girls of paper and fire pdf download.
I like, by the way, how this book uses the existence of homophobia and misogyny as tools for developing its characters and narrative, rather than as plot devices. The focus here is on two queer women, rather than on the characters perpetrating or benefiting from this discrimination.
This is perhaps why the last hundred pages are so good; once that one tiny issue is fixed, the entire book gains initiative and becomes what Natasha Ngan has the talent to write - a fantastic, gripping, gorgeously written, and emotional dark fairy tale. So completely badass and gorgeous.
The characters are so great!! And Wren is such a good love interest, supportive and caring but with her own shit to deal with. Oh, girls of paper and fire pdf download, and the romance.
