π Into the Riverlands by Nghi Vo Book Review π
5th book of January 2023 and 5th of the year:
This was the third installment in the beautifully written, queernormative The Singing Hills Cycle series by Nghi Vo. Like the two books before it, this focused on storytelling, learning about other cultures and people, and why those things are so important, and I love the fact that they highlight those things. It had great, diverse, and badass characters, and the fight scenes were also very good. The audiobooks are all beautifully narrated, and I recommend the whole series! TWs for animal death, cursing, death, gore, injury/injury description, mention of rape and forced prostitution toward the beginning, murder, and violenceππ§π³οΈβππ

This story was so fun - the stories were interesting and the theme of never being able to fully know another person and these little gifts of learning special things about them was really well executed. This one took a while to get going for me but the way it wrapped up was perfect.
