Best read directly after its predecessor, Sound the Gong continues the story of Zephyr and the Three Kingdoms.  Again filled with incredibly brave, badass warrior women, this book sees Zephyr navigate strategy by inhabiting the bodies of others.  The characters in this story will do whatever it takes to accomplish their goals in a (sometimes literally) cutthroat environment, and yet, the chess pieces they manipulate in order to do so are not only pawns but also friends, allies, rulers.  Zephyr’s powers are put to the test as she tries to change fate to get what she wants, but history is cyclical and destiny powerful.  Will her choices have been worth it?
