5.0

The cleric, a scout, and her mammoth find themselves trapped by three  hungry tiger sisters. Chih decides to tell a story of the Tigers' ancestors and, in turn, discovers the story being fixed. 

I very much enjoy a short story, and Nghi Vo does not disappoint. The ability to create multiple intricate tales within the novella is astounding. There are so many small details to get lost in that I felt as though I was with Chih myself.
