Heaps of Pearl by Seanan McGuire

Heaps of Pearl (October Daye, #8.1)

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A fun short story that shows us how Patrick and Dianda met. As far as I can tell, it’s completely optional - nothing key learned - but it’s a ton of fun.

Full of Briars by Seanan McGuire

Full of Briars (October Daye, #7.2)

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This one’s a bit longer than most of the other short stories. It’s great to get into Quentin’s head, given what we learned in recent books. It also helps explain why, after the adventure with Arden, his parents didn’t immediately recall him. It’s also fun to see how Quentin sees the others.
