"The Tea Master and the Detective" by Aliette de Bodard

A Sherlock Holmes riff set in de Bodard's sci-fi Xuya universe! Very fun, good mystery. I really like the sci-fantasy aspects of her Xuya stuff. Long Chau is a very excellent Sherlock Holmes riff and I hope we see more of her. The Shadow's Child is a spaceship and a very good Watson. I hope we see more of them.

"Opal: A Raven Cycle Short Story" by Maggie Stiefvater

Originally packaged with the original novels, but now available as a standalone. I really enjoyed Opal's POV and it was lovely to see how she and Adam and Ronan were getting on after the The Raven King. Plus what I'm sure is a little tease for the upcoming trilogy featuring Ronan. Definitely looking forward to how that pays off too.
