This was a good novella. I read it as an audiobook. I love the storytelling and the representation in the book. For me, the lore or "magic" system confuses me a little. The tigers, as a people, intrigued me as they have a very basic way of viewing the world and lived by their own morals no matter how "bad" they are.
The story that was being told and the two very different versions of it were very interesting. It shows how different information is passed down depending on who is telling it.
Overall, it's very good. Storytelling and representation is 5 stars. I was just a little confused on who was speaking at times and what was happening.
