Story

Loved this one! Her writing is wonderful. Definitely want to listen to all in a row.

More exciting than the first one

I felt this story was better than the first one, I like reading ghosts and spirits’ stories and it didn’t disappoint. A quick read/listen worth the time.

Genius

The story and the writing was beautiful. I loved the concept of telling a story that was passed down throughout history incorrectly and having the true story told right after.

What a happy partnership!

First of course it's such a good story. There are echoes of Sheherazade telling a story to stay aliv e. There are the alternating versions of the story. Cindy Kay does a fantastic narration of the story

Another captivating tale with an engaging storytelling approach

I’m loving Nghi Vo’s work so far! These stories are so enjoyable. You get lush imagery, a folk tale/fairy tale vibe, some beautiful language, and a unique approach to how the story unfolds. I look forward to listening to these again and may have to get physical copies as well.
