The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo
3.5
“Angry mothers raise daughters fierce enough to fight wolves.”
I continue to be impressed by certain authors' abilities to create such beautiful, impactful stories in such a short amount of pages.
This was powerful and really well-formulated. The narration style could have been an injustice to the story, making the reader feel distant and removed but instead, I felt like I was genuinely being told the events by someone that had witnessed them. Something that I found extremely impressive.
It did take me a bit to connect to the story, though I'm always willing to admit that might be reader error lol. The world-building blended together for me at times, but once I figured it out, I really was invested in the story.
Overall, I can totally see why this as beloved as it is and I look forward to reading more from the author.
