✦ THEME WEEK: Girls Who Refuse the Cage ✦

This week’s reads are all about rebellion - the quiet kind, the furious kind, and the kind that burns entire kingdoms to the ground.

From the poisoned perfection of The Chemical Garden trilogy (Wither, Fever, Sever) to Addie Thorley’s Burn the Kingdom Down, these stories take the “fragile girl” archetype and twist it into something unbreakable.

They ask the same question in different ways:
What happens when the world underestimates you - and you finally stop letting it?

Over the next few days, I’ll be reviewing each of these books, tracing their shared threads of control, freedom, and defiance. There’ll be love and loss, rusted cages and blooming rage — and, of course, a few tarot pulls to match the fire.
