Girls of Fate and Fury

De: Natasha Ngan

Narrado por: Allison Hiroto

New York Times best-selling author Natasha Ngan delivers a stunningly beautiful, heartbreaking finale to the epic Girls of Paper and Fire series.

"Don't struggle, Lei-zhi. It's time to take you back to the Hidden Palace. You're going home."

The final moments of Girls of Storm and Shadow brought a jaw-dropping conclusion that had the fates of Lei and Wren hanging in uncertainty. But one thing was certain - the Hidden Palace was the last place that Lei would ever consider home. The trauma and tragedy she suffered behind those opulent walls would plague her forever. She could not be trapped there with the sadistic king again, especially without Wren.

The last Lei saw of the girl she loved, Wren was fighting an army of soldiers in a furious battle to the death. With the two girls torn apart and each in terrorizing peril, will they find each other again, or have their destinies diverged forever?

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Ngan's plot is tense and tight, her action sequences are elegant and adrenaline-soaked, and her story's stakes increase exponentially through the pulse-pounding conclusion. What most distinguishes this book, though, is how incisively and intoxicatingly Ngan writes about love." (Publisher's Weekly, starred review)

"This glittering commercial romance has real stakes, and the lavish, intriguingly conceptualized world will capture readers. Love stories between women are still disappointingly few in fantasy, and romance and action fans alike will find much to savor here." (Booklist)

"Lei and Wren's romance unfolds tenderly...and their wonder at finding love in such a terrible place rings true.... [All] lead[s] to a terrifically nail-biting cliffhanger, setting all the pieces in play for a combustible sequel." (Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books)

Brilliantly told and written conclusion

I can't recommend or praise this series enough. The story being shared is epic while still living within and exploring the very personal spaces of the characters. The author has also turned the prose into an art form on its own.

what a beautiful story

Holy hell this series is amazing. I found myself tearing up. what a beautiful story, with amazing themes and representation. love it

Beautiful series

I just finished the series and I can honestly say it was a gem. At the beginning of the series I will say that the narrator grated on my ears simply because it felt like a mom telling a story to a toddler, however as the story progressed she did improve and also grew on me.

The Good: The story truly is amazing, not only for the storytelling but the tie in to real world issues that many people face everyday. I was touched by the honesty of the author. Clearly this book was a product of passion to help people who have gone through trauma. The narrator as mentioned above didn’t really match the book in my opinion but she did perform well throughout the series and certainly as it aged. All the characters, even the villains were written very well and believable.

The less good: all in all the story was wonderful, giving a voice to people who rarely have one. For this reason alone I can’t really fault it, however I think it should be mentioned. Most of the relationships in the book seemed almost forced with how often they were homosexual (I myself am one so I can appreciate this) but I think it almost seems unfitting to unjust world the author is painting.

Final thanks to the author
I grew up in a very abusing household that eventually led to some very serious mental health issues that I had to work through in my young adult life. I am not a woman but I felt connected to tribulations the characters endured. I am so grateful to read a book that had so much love poured into it that couldn’t stop reading. Thank you so much, I look forward to your next book.

amazing

I didn't want to stop listening and the plot twists kept getting me off guard and it was an amazing story and I am very happy I got to listen to this entire book series

A touch of magic.

This book is 100% relatable. I can truly relate to Nitta. I to was able bodied only to loose it in a tragic way but from this I have learned the true meanings of magic, strength, & love. This series will forever be in my personal library!

A beautifully written masterpiece with loveably flawed characters.

I honestly can't remember the last time I enjoyed a story so much. I hope the author writes more stories so that I may experience them all.

Just Okay

The first book in this series was incredible, but as the story progressed I found it becoming increasingly boring. There were a lot of moments in this book that felt like it was trying to do something similar to what Mockingjay accomplished, but didn’t quite understand how Mockingjay got there and the fallout that can happen after multiple traumas. I never understood why being Moon Chosen was a big deal, motivations didn’t always make sense, and man do I hate villain monologues. I appreciated the author’s delicacy and delivery of sexual trauma and disability, and I would certainly read more from this author.
