A Song to Drown Rivers

The way the real-world history blends with the mythical aspects made the story feel both familiar and magical. Did the setting enhance your connection to the characters?

I’m curious about how the author chose this story and what motivated the blending of history and fantasy in this way. It felt very personal and meaningful.

Her struggles with identity and belonging felt very real, even within the fantastical world. Did anyone else relate to her internal conflicts?
