Ooh yay I am so glad you picked up and tried a little resurrection! And that it was one you absolutely loved as well. It was just so good. I hadn't heard of it before when I got it either -- it was one of the few times I was bookshop browsing and stumbled across it in the shop and decided to get it! And thank you for being so lovely about my poetry reviews <3

So much we agreed on with Mammoth at the Gates, I cant wait for the next one I think has been announced at least. I think Chosen and the Beautiful is the only novel I have too get to from Vo's backlist.
Sad I shall Wear Midnight was a disappointment, I think I do get where things didn't work for you as much in that one tho.

Shame to hear that this installment of the Tiffany Aching subseries didn't live up to the others. I love the Discworld though haven't got as far as the Tiffany Aching series yet
