Thoughts:

Here we go again with another romp with Chih and neixin Almost Brilliant! You don’t need to read the previous books to read this one. You just need to know that Chih is a travelling cleric that gathers stories to chronicle for their monastery. Each novella chronicles their journey. This story is as short and satisfying as the previous ones. It’s a quick read with colorful characters. It’s amazing how Nghi Vo ties two related stories so seamlessly in under 100 pages.
