In her ongoing series The Singing Hills Cycle, author Nghi Vo has sent the Cleric Chih on some engaging, and often cozy, fantasy adventures.
But as Vo explains in the following email interview about the newest novella in this series, The Bridges Of High Hill (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook), this time around, Chih is kind of screwed.
In Nghi Vo’s Singing Hills Cycle, a historian cleric named Chih wanders a magical fantasy world strongly influenced by Southeast Asian history.
But in Mammoths At The Gates (hardcover, Kindle, aduiobook), Chih’s feet are taking them back home for the first time in years, only to find that not everything is as they left it. In the following email interview, Vo discusses what inspired and influenced this new novella.
With Into The Riverlands (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook), author Nghi Vo is continuing the Singing Hills Cycle of fantasy novellas she launched with 2020’s The Empress Of Salt And Fortune and continued later that year with When The Tiger Came Down The Mountain.
In the following email interview, she discusses where she gets the ideas for these stand-alone but connected stories, as well as her hopes for the Cycle going forward.
