#68 Into the Riverlands by Nghi Vo

What I like about these novellas is you don’t need to have read the previous ones to enjoy the current one.  Chih is a cleric of the Singing Hills collecting stories along with her avian traveling companion, Almost Brilliant.  They are fascinated by every story they hear and take notes so they can report it all back to the abbey.  They meet a pair of young women in a tea ship that can more than take care of themselves when trouble arrives and join them as they all are traveling in the same direction. An older couple joins them, and they set out on the road swapping tales and fighting bandits.
