Reviews with content warning for Violence - Quand la tigresse descendit de la montagne

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.

“I am yours, and so I will be your light and your laughter. I am yours, so open your eyes to look at me, and open your mouth so that I may kiss it. I am yours, I am yours, and nevermore will I leave.”

Sometimes two women love each other very much and it's wonderful and sometimes one of those women is a tiger and that's really beautiful and I just ough women

I gasped, I kicked my feet, I wished desperately for mammoths not to be extinct.
