So much love for The Singing Hills Cycle series. Nghi Vo knocked it out of the park again with this book. This time, we see Cleric Chih come back home and deal with a grief and loss, which only adds to the beautiful world-building of this entire series and Chih's development as a lovable character. How Vo manages to pack so much emotion and development into these small novellas is a wonder but if I could have one bookish wish granted and have it come true, it would be that she never stops writing these.
