Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan Crossword Puzzle
So… I totally disappeared from crossword puzzle making. I am getting back into it, I have actual access to a scanner, I have TONS of word lists made already, and I have a new puzzle making process that seems to be a bit more efficient. There will be a puzzle up next Monday, either Truthwitch or The Other Side of the Sky.
But this week’s puzzle is for Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan! This is probably one of my favorite YA fantasy series openers. I cannot overstate how much I think you should read this series.
If you are here I assume you are well acquainted with Lei and Wren and Blue and everyone. You aren’t here looking for a Girls of Paper summary (though I think the crossword puzzle will totally jog your memory!), you just want to look at my odd puzzle making hobby.
The last puzzle was Cinder by Marissa Meyer, the link to the answer sheet is right here! The next puzzle will have the answer sheet to this one!
