The Empress of Salt and Fortune

Found this on an endcap at the Elliot Bay Book Company on a trip to Seattle, and am very pleased I did! This was atmospheric, and left me both satisfied and wanting more. Will definitely seek out more of these novellas to hear what else Cleric Chih fastidiously uncovers. Vo is especially skilled at weaving magical realism in seamlessly to this high fantasy world. It is both central to what unfolds without ever being gimmicky or a distraction.
