About this listen
Her destiny. His revenge.
In an empire on the brink of war . . .
Ahn is no one, with no past and no family.
Altan is a lost heir, his future stolen away as a child.
When they meet, Altan sees in Ahn a path to reclaiming the throne. Ahn sees a way to finally unlock her past and understand her lethal magical abilities.
But they may have to pay a far deadlier price than either could have imagined.
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.

From sweeping deserts to thrashing seas, Jade Fire Gold is adventure at its finest. Yet in between its pages you'll also find a tender spirit and beautifully rendered story that honors the great wuxia epics. Jin Yong would be proud

Brutal and beautiful, June CL Tan's debut is a force. Jade Fire Gold was a gripping adventure I couldn't put down
[A] smoldering romance takes place against the backdrop of themes of duality and complementarity in nature, trauma and revenge, self-sacrifice, truth in history, and the fight for a better future . . . A magic-filled debut that will leave readers eager for more from this author
A beautiful and magical adventure - you don't want to miss this one!
Addictive and immersive, June C.L. Tan's Jade Fire Gold transported me straight to the desert and kept me there right up until the final page. A spectacular debut full of adventure, magic and heart - I can't wait to see what comes next from this talented new voice in YA fantasy!
Inspired by the Chinese high fantasy xianxia stories, Jade Fire Gold manages a nuanced look at imperialism, the effects of childhood trauma, and just who gets to write and define the history we are taught
Magical... With action, romance and beautifully rich detail, this is absolutely a series to follow through to the end
I'm going to admit that my westernised upbringing and social contextual understanding of life really exacerbated my pre-existing issue with remembering who is who at the start of a book. I always struggle with character names, especially in fantasy, but I was surprised to struggle with this. I'm looking forward to reading more books outside of my culture to help bridge this gap.
I'll also admit that I didn't like the "time jumps" and what I mean by that is 'two weeks later we were in...' I've realised through this I like reading about the journey. At the start of this book I had no idea how they were going to fit this all in one book and that's how they did it. This book really isn't a physical journey, it's more several static points. I think I would've liked to see a lot more of the in between as I feel that's where a lot of character development happens. These cuts made it feel a bit like 'hey we've been together for a few weeks, we're friends now. Trust me' and while that's great I just felt like we'd missed a lot.
Finally, as I did audiobook this in parts, it's worth saying this was dual narrated. Ahn's Narrator was a jem and I will be looking to see what else she has done. Altan's narrator was male and while that suited the character I find male narrators have a very limited range. In this case he had Altans voice and inner thoughts and anyone else got this odd higher pitch? It was jarring, regardless of sex every other character had this voice and it really took me right out.
Overall though a great read which really tampered my craving for this setting and culture. Would reccomend.
Good book, but that male narrators female voice...
