A Song to Drown Rivers Book Preview

Description: Hello everyone! Today I am teaming up with Park Row to bring you a book preview of A Song to Drown Rivers by Ann Laung, which comes out on October 8, 2024. My Thoughts: Book: A Song to Drown Rivers Rating: Ann Liang Rating: 5 Out of 5 Stars I would like to thank the publisher, St. Martin’s Press, for sending me an ARC. Prior to being an ARC, I had not hard of this title. Sometimes that is the best way to go into a book because you end up being surprised and that is the case with this one. This one is based on the Four Beauties of Ancient China. We follow Xishi, who is very beautiful. She lives in a village with her parents. She used to have a younger sister, who was killed the Wu-the Yue’s greatest enemy. Her beauty is a blessing to everyone around her. When she is given the chance to use her beauty as a weapon, she takes it. She is trained by Fanli to make the Wu king fall in love with her and the right time, find a way for the Yue to strike. She is trained in everything from keeping her emotions to using a blade. When she arrives, she knows the Wu are watching her every movement-even the king. The king has developed for her, but she cannot let her guard down. She cannot allow herself to be strayed from her mission. If she is caught, it will end up costing her more than just her life. I was pulled into the story pretty early on. You are taken into the world and taken into all of the suffering. We see both sides judging each other and pointing fingers. They all view the other side as being monsters and something that needs to be taken down. It can make it hard, at times, to see who is telling the truth and who is not. We only get Xishi’s views on things, but we see some of her interactions with the Wu. Some of the hatred is very much justified, but some of it is not. For example, in the market (I think that is where the encounter happens), she is talking to someone and calls all Wu’s monsters. The person she is talking about says that she is Wu and asks if she is a monster. It makes Xishi think. It also makes the reader think. I loved Xishi’s character. She is the type of character that you cannot help but to fall in love with. She doesn’t stray from her mission. Everything she does is because of the mission. She plays her part well. She doesn’t let her emotions get the best of her. It’s been a while since I have read a book with a character who is this focused and driven about what they are doing. She gives up a lot for what she is doing, but never complains. It is through her that we see that something like war is not black and white. It costs so much and both sides feel the effects of it. The other characters are well done too. Even thought the book is under four hundred, we are given the chance to get to know all of our characters. Even though this is told in first person, I feel like all of the characters were given a chance to have their own voices and be their own characters. The writing is what brings everything together. Ann weaves this tale in way that makes it hard to leave. There is so much packed in this book too, but everything feels balanced and well put together. Not once did I feel like we were getting the shortened version of everything or that things were rushed. Everything progresses in a way that feels natural and just right. I guess that is what I am getting it-everything felt right. Overall, I did really enjoy this one a lot. This book comes out on October 8, 2024.
