The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo

emotional mysterious reflective medium-paced

4.25

This took a bit to get into and find my footing, but ultimately, I quite liked it. This gave me Psalm for the Wild-Built vibes in the sense of a non-binary monk-like figure who travels to a remote location and talks with a friend about their life stories. This novella deals with themes of love and loss, war, power, and female friendship. There’s a mystery element that reveals itself through Rabbit’s stories, and it’s satisfying in the end. I’m eager to read the next one in the series.
