Oh yes. Some people are just more... edible than others if you are a tiger.

Cleric Chih is back for another adventure. This time a once in a lifetime opportunity to ride a mammoth goes sideways when they cross paths with hungry tigers, who really want a taste of their flesh. Armed with only their wits, and no Almost Brilliant!, Chih will have to keep the tigers at bay by retelling a story of a tiger and her lover doing their best to avoid upsetting the hungry felines.

Entertaining but a bit disorganized. Loved learning more about the world, the mammoths, the traditions of the north, and even supernatural beings like the tigers, but wasn't 100% sold on the story Chih was reciting nor the interruptions by the tigers. I still had fun and fully recommend reading it, I just don't have a lot to comment about it.

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.

God, this books is so good! The world building is vibrant without being overly didactic. The author let's readers learn as the narrator does, which makes the cleric the perfect conduit for the storytelling. The love in the story within a story was nuanced and beautiful. I want to read everything Nghi Vo has written.
