The Brides of High Hill

Reading this was like being back with an old friend, both for the comfort and also for seeing how time has changed them. This is Vo's darkest installment of the Singing Hills series yet and I dug it. I heard this was a [ ] retelling, which was a spoiler but the novella still absolutely managed to be a surprise. I think between the last book and this one Vo is shifting away from it being about the story and integrating Cleric Chih much more into the plot (and thus having more plot) which I thoroughly enjoyed in this installment. But I do hope we return to the Cleric collecting stories in the next one. One of favorites of the series yet for sure.
