And it was OK. I don't remember reading it before, even now having read it. But it's entirely possible that I have read it before, as it's not very memorable.

Set in a China analogue, heroine comes to be trained by exiled warrior. Not really a lot of fantasy elements, apart from being set in (what I assume is) an almost-China. No mythical beasts, no magic.

One might almost describe it as alternate history, if it was set in a recognisable place/era.

It passed the time pleasantly, but not one of her best.

Next up: The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction for March/April 2015.
