ARC provided by the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
As with the previous two instalments, I really enjoyed this novella. This one ventures into new territory, literally and figuratively, as we move into the Riverlands and also get some fantastic martial arts scenes. The young me who loved anything related to martial arts was squealing in glee. I thought the people Cleric Chih meets in this one were particularly brilliant, and I loved the stories they both did and didn't tell. This one ends with a whiff of mystery; the author lets you draw your own assumptions about what you think happened, and I really loved that.
