This was pretty cool! Unfortunately it wasn't as good as some other of the books in the series but it works well to create intrigue. I think the premise was cool but the end was pretty confusing as a whole and left the book on an off note.

"Along the high banks of the Fogg River, a woman returned to the water, dragging a dead body behind her..."
3.75⭐ Horror/Historical Fantasy with a healthy dose of paranormal female vengeance.
This is my first intro into Nghi Vo's writing and I'm very excited to read more of her works. (The Singing Hills Cycle is on my list for this year!)
While I enjoyed this story- it was beautifully written. I still think this is one where I actually wanted more. This was such an eerie and atmospheric world that Vo created but it felt like we only got to scratch the surface. I would have liked to stay with these characters for a little longer.
