In the heat of the moment, we can be caught up in the hum of battle, but only when the dust begins to clear, can we see the blood on our hand. All the nightmares that haunt us when we close our eyes. The lines of mercy, forgiveness, and blame in war. But Girls of Fate and Fury takes moments to deconstruct our duty, loyalties, and choices. Sacrifice and choice has always been a central theme in this series. At the beginning, Ngan asks us what we are willing to do. Girls of Fate and Fury merely cements the lengths, mistakes, and sacrifices these characters have gone through.

My favorite characters have gone through so much.

Featuring a Lei and Wren POV, it’s a story about agency and change. Girls of Fate and Fury is a balm to my soul.

TW: mentions of sexual assault and self-harm This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) Girls of Fate and Fury is the epic conclusion to the "glittering" and "adrenaline-soaked" series by Natasha Ngan, hailed as "a stunning, new talent" for her "beautiful, lush, lyrical" writing.(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. With the two girls torn apart and each in terrorizing peril, will they find each other again or have their destinies diverged forever? The last Lei saw of the girl she loved, Wren was fighting an army of soldiers in a furious battle to the death. She could not be trapped there with the sadistic king again, especially without Wren. The trauma and tragedy she suffered behind those opulent walls would plague her forever. But one thing was certain - the Hidden Palace was the last place that Lei would ever consider home. The final pages of Girls of Storm and Shadow brought a jaw-dropping conclusion that had the fates of Lei and Wren hanging in uncertainty. It's time to take you back to the Hidden Palace. New York Times bestselling author Natasha Ngan delivers a stunningly beautiful, heartbreaking finale to the epic Girls of Paper and Fire series-now in paperback!
