I’m also a bit curious about the ‘romance’ in the book, because to me it felt very typical of fable-esque love stories that are actually pretty toxic from a modern pov, so I wasn’t thinking of it as a romance we were supposed to root for exactly but it seems like some other reviewers felt differently.. because the romance was very toxic both from the human’s and tiger’s povs (stalking, not helping unless they get something out of it, being generally aggressive, etc.).

There’s a lot of descriptions of animal gore and eating raw animal parts Also very minor but there was at least one time that I noticed the author used the wrong pronouns for Chih 🙃odditiex's review

This is the second in a series of stories following the cleric Chih as they travel around collecting stories to write down and save for future generations. As Chih and their mammoth riding guide Si-yu are travelling up the mountain they are ambushed by 3 tigers. The tigers can shift into human form and they learn that they are sisters. The tigers hold off on eating them though long enough to hear Chihs version of a story about one of the great tigers Ho Thi Thao and her scholar lover Dieu. Chih now being tasked with trying to keep the tiger sisters from eating them all by the story they are telling while also editing the story to the true version the tiger sisters wish to tell.
It was a good story, I enjoyed reading it. The writing was again wonderful and the story so unique and interesting. I will say I enjoyed the Empress of Salt and Fortune just a bit more than this one but it's still a great story.
