The girls of paper and fire is one of those books who have been hiding at the back of my bookcase for years…. And after reading it I have to apologize towards them. They didn’t deserve my silent treatment. The first book is in my opinion a good read. The book has a heavy theme but that’s to be expected.

The girls are forced to become concubines to the king, so there are scenes in which the characters are forced into sexual situations.

I am giving this book a low review because it’s literally centered around romanticized sexual slavery and it’s disgusting. Writing is great and so is the story development but I hate the plot of this book

It's interestin  how it connects  several social problems such as misogyny, sexual assault, abuse , bullying etc with the magic of the world and the behavior of the main characters when they deal with these problems

spaghettii's review against another edition

I genuinely hate this book so much. It was marketed for being lgbtq+ which was why I decided to check it out in the first place but that was definitely a mistake. The main character is basically forced to be a prostitute and there are themes of sexual assault and bestiality

Spoiler

I really wanted to love this book. It was recommended everywhere as an LGBT read, and I was sorely disappointed with borderline bestiality and sexual assault. Wtf
