"A remarkable accomplishment of storytelling."―NPR on The Empress of Salt and Fortune
"Nghi Vo is one of the most original writers we have today."―Taylor Jenkins Reid on Siren Queen
Not my favorite of the stories, but still better than good. Slower burn, mysterious. I think some plot points/characters could have used a bit more fleshing out. If you’ve enjoyed the rest of Singing Hills, this has the familiar yet different feel to it and is worth your time.
