Both ended up lost in the desert without their parents as children but Ahn is actually an important noble family’s daughter and Altan is a lost prince. We have our two main characters, Ahn and Altan. But, Jade Fire Gold has got so much more to it.
I’ve seen the main romance compared to Zutara (Zuko and Katara from Avatar) and I get that, plus there’s elemental magic throughout and kind of the “chosen one” trope going on as well so if you liked Avatar, you will love Jade Fire Gold. It was another book that I absolutely adored this year and honestly, if you’re a fan of East Asian inspired fantasies and this is, somehow, not already on your radar then please make sure it is! I don’t really even know where to start with this review. Girls of Paper and Fire meets A Song of Wraiths and Ruin in June CL Tan’s stunning debut, where ferocious action, shadowy intrigue, rich magic, and a captivating slow-burn romance collide. Ahn sees a way to finally unlock her past and understand her lethal magical abilities.īut they may have to pay a far deadlier price than either could have imagined.
When they meet, Altan sees in Ahn a path to reclaiming the throne.
