In this novella, Huang melds North American and Asian folklore through the story of two older women who are hunting down the sunbirds that are wreaking havoc on the land. As they chase the sunbirds, Rosa tells her story of hunting human-animal shapeshifters in a quest for vengeance against the talking wolf that killed her grandmother, while archer Hou Yi reflects on the circumstances that caused her to lose her family. It's a well-told tale of regret, personal demons, and love, and my only complaint is that I wish it was longer.
