When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain (The Singing Hills Cycle Book 2)

I loved this one by far. I struggled with the pace of the first one but this one had a beautiful queer love dangerous love story. I love the concept of listening to both sides of the story. Beautifully written.

3.5/5

Oh yes. Some people are just more... edible than others if you are a tiger.

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 thought this book was very romantic. I enjoyed it a lot!
