The Brides of High Hill

I was rather meh on this fifth novella in The Singing Hills Cycle. It didn't grab me until the end. The beginning was rather muddled, although I realize that was intentional, as our favorite non-binary Cleric Chih is also muddled in this short adventure. The previous three novellas, including the wonderful Mammoths at the Gates, were all much more lovely and interesting. Nevertheless, the prose was gorgeous and Chih is such a wonderful character. This novella was nominated for the 2025 Best Novella Hugo Award.
