Another insanely unique, gorgeous, and engrossing novella from Nghi Vo! I don’t know if I liked this one quite as much as The Empress of Salt and Fortune, but it was still so good.

'When you love a thing too much, it is a special kind of pain to show it to others and to see that it is lacking.'
Damn, wish I had a tiger wife.

The cleric, a scout, and her mammoth find themselves trapped by three hungry tiger sisters. Chih decides to tell a story of the Tigers' ancestors and, in turn, discovers the story being fixed.
I very much enjoy a short story, and Nghi Vo does not disappoint. The ability to create multiple intricate tales within the novella is astounding. There are so many small details to get lost in that I felt as though I was with Chih myself.
