Series Spotlight: The Singing Hills Cycle by Nghi Vo | Fiction, Fantasy [Book Recommendation]

Some stories are too good to fit into just one book. In this Series Spotlight, I’m diving into the Singing Hills Cycle by Nghi Vo — giving an overview of the series, what makes it stand out, and why I think it’s worth the commitment.

The cycle is comprised of seven novellas set in a lush world inspired by East and Southeast Asian history and myth, and are linked by the Cleric Chih, a non-binary cleric and archivist of the Singing Hills, and their hoopoe bird companion Almost Brilliant: The Empress of Salt and Fortune When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain Into the Riverlands Mammoths at the Gates The Brides of High Hill A Mouthful of Dust A Long and Speaking Silence The eighth book in the series, The Judgment of Needles , is coming in May 2027. Check out all the books on The Book Up's page on or Amazon .
