Into the Riverlands

Written by Nghi Vo

Narrated by Cindy Kay

Wandering cleric Chih of the Singing Hills travels to 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.

Accompanied by Almost Brilliant, a talking bird with an indelible memory, Chih confronts old legends and new dangers alike as they learn that every story-beautiful, ugly, kind, or cruel-bears more than one face.

Reviews for Into the Riverlands

[Deepa Budhoo · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Again very enjoyable. The narrator’s voice is so calming, even when they talk about bodies. I love the old couple. I can picture them before me. There is growth in the main characters and I love to go on the next adventure with them.

I really love this story! I am buying a physical copy and will cherish it. Also nicely read and well produced in the audio form.

[Natália Pinheiro · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Eu amo essa série! Cada história segue uma estrutura diferente, e nessa Chih participa mais ativamente, ao mesmo tempo que escuta múltiplas histórias sobre um mesmo local. A narrativa é brilhante!

[Lucia Garcia · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed this story like the ones before it.
This time the characters were not so engaging for me as the ones before, yet the story is beautifully told.

[Heidi Sheehan · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was short and overall good. The Riverlands seems like a very interesting place and I would love full length novel that takes place in the Riverlands. The Riverlands are haunting and beautiful in description and have many a lore and stories to be told. This is my first book by this author and it certainly will not be my last.
