This is the second in a series of stories following the cleric Chih as they travel around collecting stories to write down and save for future generations. As Chih and their mammoth riding guide Si-yu are travelling up the mountain they are ambushed by 3 tigers. The tigers can shift into human form and they learn that they are sisters. The tigers hold off on eating them though long enough to hear Chihs version of a story about one of the great tigers Ho Thi Thao and her scholar lover Dieu. Chih now being tasked with trying to keep the tiger sisters from eating them all by the story they are telling while also editing the story to the true version the tiger sisters wish to tell.
It was a good story, I enjoyed reading it. The writing was again wonderful and the story so unique and interesting. I will say I enjoyed the Empress of Salt and Fortune just a bit more than this one but it's still a great story.

2nd book of January 2022 and 2nd of the year:
I loved the first book in this series, so I had to pick this up! Once again, I loved the beautiful, lush, and poetic writing and descriptions, the queerness in it, and the importance put on stories and storytelling. I didnโt enjoy this one quite as much as the first one, but I still really enjoyed it and find myself liking it more the more I think about it, and I recommend picking it up!
