When The Tiger Came Down The Mountain by Nghi Vo

⭐⭐⭐⭐

File under: Fantasy

Wizard-level reading challenge: A book with dual timelines

“When you love a thing too much, it is a special kind of pain to show it to others and see that it is lacking.” Here is one of many beautiful lines of prose found within this short, entertaining tale. In the follow-up to The Empress of Salt and Fortune, we find the intrepid cleric Chih telling stories again. Or, rather, swapping tales. This time with a band of ferocious tigers.

I don’t want to say much more other than to share that I liked this quite a bit, and I’m excited to read the next one.
