Sahitya's Reviews > The Brides of High Hill

Another fun outing in the Singing Hills cycle and this time our favorite cleric Chih is escorting a new bride along with her family to her husband’s estate. Right from the beginning, there is a sense of foreboding, lots of secrets and whispers, and adding to the suspense is the issue of Chih being forgetful and maybe bewitched, missing their familiar Almost Brilliant a lot, and finding themself too attached to a teapot.

I usually like when stories are narrated to or by Chih in this series but I felt that element was missing here, except just a few glimpses of the past. So while this may not be a favorite of the series for me, it was still a fun read, albeit definitely darker than the rest of the series. Definitely looking forward to more adventures of the delightful duo.
