Rebel Skies by Ann Sei Lin

4.0

this was more like a 4.25 to me... i adore this book so much.

rebel skies is set in a world where chosen ones have the ability to bring paper to life and work as crafters - people who hunt wild paper spirits called shikigami. i was interested because the magic system but after finishing this, not only did i fell in love with the world but also with the characters. it definitely has that Studio Ghibli vibes which I really adore!! the fantasy is light and magical, and like most Studio Ghibli movies, this also has friendships and characters that are so easy to root and love for.

i think this is targeted for teens/YA, but i also think it's also suitable for middle grade readers as well! the writing is very easy to follow but still very much full of plot and ideas. definitely would recommend y'all to add this to the tbr if you're looking for a light hearted fantasy to pick up.

thank you to netgalley and walker books for providing me with an e-arc. so glad i decided to request this one hehe i had so much fun!
