I liked this a lot! Maybe novellas are for me, I’m just picky 

The story was romantic, and I loved the fact that Chih as a source of truth was challenged throughout the book. The tigers weren’t perfect either, but their cultural context allowed them to look deeper into the happenings than Chih’s recorded version. very interesting exploration of who writes history and what it means when a story is removed from its original context 

the only reason this isn’t a 5 is because I found the interruptions didn’t flow as smoothly as the previous book

I enjoyed this immensely, even more than The Empress of Salt and Fortune which I quite a bit. I really appreciated the distinctions between the human and tiger stories, and the world is well crafted.

This was the third book I've read in this series and definitely my favourite. I loved the way the story was told with the interjections from the tigers. I thought I would miss the banter between Almost Brilliant and Chih but it was a great choice by the author to exclude Almost Brilliant for this one. My only criticism was that the ending felt rushed but otherwise this was fantastic.

4.5 stars rounded up to 5. I really liked it, though not as much as The Empress of Salt and Fortune. Probably because it's so short, and I really wanted more.
