The Singing Hills Cycle is one of my favourite series, so it was no surprise to me that I enjoyed this book immensely; what did surprise me is that Mammoths at the Gates is my favourite entry so far. This novella revolves around grief, the ways we cope and stories we tell after someone is gone, and the fallibility of our objectivity in the aftermath. Each of these novellas has a fable-like feel and this one more so than most. I loved it and I will continue to devour each new entry in the Singing Hills Cycle for as long as it goes on.
