5.0

         This is my first read for 2025,and I absolutely loved this beautiful forbidden romance story.💙✨️
 Mrs.Liang's writing style is poetically beautiful,and is truly memorable from start to finish. 

       The history throughout the story is very organized,and informative. Mrs.Liang's natural talent for storytelling truly shines in the best way,and I truly felt how much she loved writing this amazing retelling for one of the "Four Great Beauties" from Chinese history. 

       The forbidden romance throughout the story is beautiful,and bittersweet. The fmc,and the mmc are both strong because the love they have for one another never stopped it only grew as time went on.

        The plot twist at the end of the story I definitely was not expecting,and I still remember that one moment that made me cry.😭

       A Song to Drown Rivers by Ann Liang is perfect for reader's who love: 

        1.Forbidden romance 
         2.Fierce warrior Mulan vibes
         3.Found family 
         4.Womanhood
         5.Stunning world-building 
         6.Love against all odds 
         7.Strong,and clever fmc 
         
         This is my first book from Mrs.Liang,and i will definitely be reading more stories from her.✨️
