Can't Wait #Wednesday...Waiting for...Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan!! @girlinthelens #books #YA @jimmy_books #Fantasy #WOW #CWW #bookworms #booknerds #booklovers



Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. If you're continuing with WOW, feel free to link those up as well! Find out more here.




Title: Girls of Paper and Fire
Author: Natasha Ngan
Genre: YA, Fantasy
Publisher: Jimmy Patterson Books
Publication Date: November 6, 2018

Blurb:

Each year, eight beautiful girls are chosen as Paper Girls to serve the king. It's the highest honor they could hope for...and the most cruel.

But this year, there's a ninth girl. And instead of paper, she's made of fire.


In this lush fantasy, Lei is a member of the Paper caste, the lowest and most oppressed class in Ikhara. She lives in a remote village with her father, where the decade-old trauma of watching her mother snatched by royal guards still haunts her. Now, the guards are back, and this time it's Lei they're after--the girl whose golden eyes have piqued the king's interest.

Over weeks of training in the opulent but stifling palace, Lei and eight other girls learn the skills and charm that befit being a king's consort. But Lei isn't content to watch her fate consume her. Instead, she does the unthinkable--she falls in love. Her forbidden romance becomes enmeshed with an explosive plot that threatens the very foundation of Ikhara, and Lei, still the wide-eyed country girl at heart, must decide just how far she's willing to go for justice and revenge.






Why it's my Can't Wait Wednesday:
This sounds really intriguing as it has girls that have paper and fire aspects. I would like to see how this one is written and how it ends. It's a must get. 




What is your CWW?
