Lei is so damn strong and amazing. She doesn't even realize it. She thinks she is powerless and others tell her she is. She goes through some horrible things both before and after being forced to be a Paper Girl. Paper Girl's live for a year and are used as concubines for the Demon King of the land. But what she finds in the house they reside in is friendship, love, and her true worth and sense of self. And she meets with betrayal and pain too. But Natasha tells the tale so beautifully that even when it is painful it begs to be read.
Wren is so amazing and real. She is so strong but she finds her soft and loving heart during her time as a Paper Girl. She becomes so much more as she learns to be less and let someone else take up some of her burdens.
Love and sacrifice and class war far and war....and action, adventure, and romance...death and hope, violence and romance....it is all here in this tale....
This is a great LGBTQ+ read...
Also a trigger warning needs to be noted, there is talk of sexual assault...

I loved this book!!!!! And with the Barnes & Noble special edition there is a great annotated chapter with notes by Natasha that add so much to the experience.
