I really enjoy in older SFF when there's a little "previously in this series" page or two. They tend to be corny, but it makes it much easier to remember what's going on! Best of luck with The Oleander Sword.

And oh, thank you for the reminder of the release of the next novella from Nghi Vo! I liked the first two a lot (especially since there are mammoths in this world, a highly specific thing I always love).
