The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo

3.0

I'm definitely interested in reading more of this quiet little series and seeing where Chih ends up traveling next, and what stories they encounter. I feel like there is a lot of room for them to grow as a protagonist and I'm curious to see their journey. The prose in this book fits the narrative so well! It's to the point and precise, but very elegant at the same time, and I think that one of the strongest aspects. On the whole, the worldbuilding is a little disjointed; I felt very disoriented for awhile, and considering the fact that this is such a short book that made for a bit of an off-kilter experience.
