They want justice, they want peace and they’re going to fight, in an actual war, to achieve it. Although literal survival would be a triumph at this point, they’re always reaching for more. They’ve been through absolute hell but, despite everything, they keep showing up. These girls are everything I want in characters, and in myself, if I’m going to be honest. Although I’m sad to be leaving them behind (for now I know they’ll be waiting for me when I return for my reread), I’m also grateful because my heart is so full having known them. I needed to know what would happen to each of my girls and I couldn’t wait to spend more time with them, loving them and learning from them, but I wasn’t ready to say good bye to them just yet. My favourites all returned in this final book of the trilogy, a book I’d both anticipated and dreaded. Then there was sweetheart Lill, not one of the nine but so darn adorable that I couldn’t help but want to protect her from the big, bad world. While I loved them all, I identified mostly with three: Lei, the Moonchosen, trained assassin Wren and Blue, winner of the girl with the most attitude award. Each claimed their very own piece of my heart in Girls of Paper and Fire. “The small bird flies on the wings of the golden-eyed girl”
