I adore the Singing Hills Cycle novellas, although I find Into the Riverlands to be the weakest book of in series so far.
The story seems to be set earlier than the others, at a time when cleric Chih hasn't been traveling for long and is still learning the ropes. The books contrasts the physical force of martial arts with the power of storytelling in wonderful way, but I couldn't quite warm up to the characters besides Chih and their winged companion Almost Brilliant.
This was nonetheless another delightful and beautiful story of the Singing Hills Cycle - always a perfect escape from reality.
