The Brides of High Hill by Nghi Vo
5.0
I received an e-galley of The Brides of High Hill by Nghi Vo from Tor Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The Brides of High Hill is the fifth book in the Singing Hills Cycle series by Nghi Vo, one of my favourite ongoing fantasy series. And just like all the other books, it now joins the list of favourite reads. In this story, we start with Cleric Chih waking up as they are traveling with a young bride to her wedding. Almost Brilliant is missing from the journey but we don't really find out why Almost Brilliant is back at the Singing Hills without Chih. As Chih spends more time in the isolated home and estate of the aging lord, they begin to suspect that there may something deadly happening behind the many closed doors of the estate.
The amount of intrigue, mystery, and twists in this story was absolutely fantastic. Nghi Vo is such a talented writer that keeps readers on their toes, never knowing what to expect next, but being surprised in ways that are absolutely brilliant. It's never until the end that everything ties together in ways that make perfect sense that you wonder how you ever missed all the clues. As always, this is a series that I highly recommend to anyone looking for fantastic writing and storytelling.
