Loved it!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 3, 2021Verified Purchase
I loved the style of telling an old story from two, sometimes contradictory, perspectives. Putting the storyteller into a risky situation that relies on a good storytelling added some spice. Having a cleric as a protagonist is also a welcome change from more typical act-first heroes, and their love of and respect for old stories and new knowledge really came through.

Excellent

A really lovely story.
It has it all, tigers, mammoths and a cleric who has a nose for trouble, and an even greater knack for recording and telling stories.
This time around our cleric retells a story of a tiger and her would be prey/lover, to a trio of tigers, who happen to know the story intimately, and their scout in order to buy them time to escape and avoid becoming dinner.

A perfect Novella. It contains everything I old have asked for in this story, the only downside was that I missed Almost Brilliant. The tigers were well thought out and I liked the family dynamic. They poetry was also excellent.

Haunting and strange

I do so enjoy Nghi Vo's worlds. Her characters are magical but recognisable. Her stories haunting but funny. I don't know why I like these but I certainly do.

Compelling, magical and fast-paced.

The Empress of Salt and Fortune was my favourite book of the year so far, what made When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain one of my most anticipated reads. It did not let me down for a second and has become my newest comfort read.
I finished it in one sitting during my work break, and I'm already thinking about re-reading it.
We follow Cleric Chih in another one of their travels, this time without Almost Brilliant (I missed them), where they encounter a group of tigers. And so, a night of storytelling ensues.
Although longer, it felt quite shorter than Empress of Salt and Fortune. We learn how stories are shaped by those who tell them to reflect their version of history. It was such a sweet tale with a refreshing ending and thought-provoking narrative.
I can only hope that we get more of Cleric Chih and Almost Brilliant.
