What another absolutely exceptional story!  I thoroughly enjoyed following Chih (a non-binary cleric) on this journey filled with a sapphic slow-burn love story, mammoths, and a tiger queen. 

While I enjoyed this book, it didn't hit me in the feels nearly as much as the first one.  I'll still 100% continue picking anything and everything up by this author.  The writing is fantastic, and I cannot wait to see what Nghi Vo writes next!
