From New York Times and Indie bestselling author Joan He, come the dazzling and sweeping conclusion to The Kingdom of Three duology, Sound the Gong, the breathtaking sequel to the critically-acclaimed Strike the Zither.

Her lordess Xin Ren holds the Westlands, but her position is tenuous. In the north, the empress remains under Miasmas thumb. In the south, the alliance with Cicada is in pieces. Fate also seems to have a different winner in mind for the three kingdoms, but Zephyr has no intentions of respecting it. She will pay any price to see Ren succeedand she will make her enemies pay, especially one dark-haired, dark-eyed Crow. What shell do when she finds out the truththat he worked for the South all along... Only the heavens know.

Mehso-so

I have mixed feelings. At about the one-third mark, I lost some interest. At the half-way mark, I started skimming. At about the two-thirds mark, I started seriously skimming (as in skipping entire pages). I felt the story got a bit convoluted. Overall, I felt the characters and emotional pieces lacked and the story felt choppy. I just didn't get invested in the characters like I did in book 1. This book just lacked something.

Velvetfur It's a shame when that happens isn't it, it's frustrating ☹️ I hope your next book is better! 😊 6mo
