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
