Into the Riverlands by Nghi Vo
3.5
adventurous fast-paced

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with the ARC of Into the Riverlands.

Cleric Chic wanders into the riverlands to record tales of the notorious near-immortal martial artists who haunt the region. On the road to Betony Docks, they fall in with a pair of young women far from home, and an older couple who are more than they seem. As Chih runs headlong into an ancient feud, they find themselves far more entangled in the history of the riverlands than they ever expected to be.

I have enjoyed this book in the Singing Hills Cycle the best so far.  The companions Chic meets in this book are very interesting as well as the notorious martial artists. I listened to the first two as audiobook but I think I should read the fourth the fifth books because I feel like the audiobook goes too quickly to fully enjoy this series since they are so short.
