“They can take and steal and break all they want, but there is one thing they have no control over. Our emotions. Our feelings. Our thoughts. None of them will ever be able to control the way we feel. Our minds and our hearts are our own. That is our power.”




How do I even begin to condense this into a review? This book was so freaking good! This is a high fantasy with demons and magic.

The world development is fantastic. The book takes place in a world with a caste system and where demons rule and humans are the lowest caste. The world was slowly built up throughout the story, instead of having it all thrown at you in the beginning.

This book has some heavy subject matter. So much so that there is a disclaimer at the beginning of the book. The Paper Girls are meant to be consorts to the King. Lei is raped by him. It also deals with murder, abuse, & slut-shaming.

My only issue was the epilogue scene. While it was clearly meant to be a build up for a sequel, I thought it was a little predictable.

Overall it was an amazing, five star fantasy and I can’t wait to read the next book.
