Nice review but I don't see the relationship Chronicle has with Love Letter that you mention in the title. Other than the designer connection, they sound like quite different games. I don't feel Love Letter is a trick-taking game. Trick-taking games aren't my favourite, so I'm not sure Chronicle would be a good fit for me, but I do think Love Letter is good.
I agree that they're quite different games, but what all Kanai's games have in common is cards that have numbers (and often suits) but also unique special powers. That's what gives them their wonderful half-traditional half-modern feel.
