Thank you so much for the recommendations! :) I hadn't heard of any of those.

>Purple and Black by K.J. Parker

Thanks for the rec! Unfortunately I can't find the ebook version of that - or rather, somewhat bizarrely the Amazon page for that book has the ebook being a completely different book with the same title, at least here in the UK.

I'm looking for some interesting novellas to read - I just finished All Systems Red by Martha Wells and really enjoyed it.

I generally enjoy fantasy books but don't mind some sci-fi too. Horror is okay too. I like snarky protagonists and nothing too bleak.
