Status Updates From Buried Deep and Other Stories

Lord Dunsany's Teapot .5 stars. Does nothing for me

Blessings 2 stars. Super short so not much time for development. Liked the ending. Do you own thing bitch!

Seven 4 stars. Men are stupid, clay and pottery is cool.

Commonplaces 1 star. Wife feels better after cheating? Why would I like that? I’m not target audience, as I’m not a huge Sherlock fan. This is for hard core fans of the classic stories with working knowledge of what happens when. Does nothing for me

Spinning silver short story 4 stars. It had the exact same start as the novel, from what I can recall. Ending is kind of abrupt about face for starek. I think one of the most interesting things about this is thinking about how Novik‘s mind works. I wonder how much of the world and characters she had in her head as she wrote the short version

Buried deep 4 stars. Greek myth is always a check. Ariadne is quite likable, and she tells off her asshole dad. Works for me

Vici was a temeraire offshoot

Vici 2 stars. Didn’t do anything for me, didn’t like any of the characters.
