I LOVED this entry in the Singing Hills cycle, particularly for its execution of the story-within-a-story framework and how dryly humorous it feels. Vo's reflection on how stories are told - and by whom - is conveyed through a tense encounter between our loveably nerdy cleric and three sister tigers they've encountered during a northern journey into the mountains. A quick and exciting read that had me laughing throughout.

I really like this author's approach to story telling. They manage to make the world feel vast and full of secrets without using many words. The way they tell their story encourages you to reflect on their words and what they truly mean.

4.5 stars rounded up to 5. I really liked it, though not as much as The Empress of Salt and Fortune. Probably because it's so short, and I really wanted more.
