The Empress of Salt and Fortune

I think I want to dig into more novellas after reading The Empress of Salt and Fortune. I've only read a few novellas before but this one felt above and beyond a lot of other longer length books. Even though the setting felt really familiar to other time period fantasies, it was still really evocative and the main locations felt lived in. The format of the story was also excellent with the story of the Empress dropped through the items Rabbit remembered her by. I couldn't help but wonder what the story would've been like if it had been told during the events rather than after but I'm happy with it either way.
