The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo

3.0

“Accuracy above all things. You will never remember the great if you do not remember the small.”
An extremely ambient and atmospheric read full of small fable-style lessons and a great deal of observational beauty (if only you are playing “eagle eye”). For a very short story full of mystic and legend you naturally have to excuse some plot holes but for the most part the narrative style allows for any misgivings to be swept over with ease. Beautifully told & a very unique read.
