Reading every book in this series is like coming home to an old friend. Tense & atmospheric, the latest installment in The Singing Hills Cycle was a gothic horror story with sharp teeth & soft edges. Hazy and immaterial, while also being bold and immersive, Vo’s world building is immaculate, and this series is a masterclass in fantasy writing. Full of magic and myth, and mystery, & murder, this was a delicious entry to the series, and one I won’t soon forget. In this installment, memories fail, and our cleric develops a crush, as we’re immersed in a world where nothing is as it seems. We’re thrown headlong into the story, & we settle in immediately before we remember to ask a single question or point of clarification. Lush, brilliant, and beautiful, every book in this series is a gift.
