Novellas??? I love you. We demand more appreciation for the shorter forms! (This is How You Lose the Time War is really good by the way)

Fab list! Some suggestions; The Iron Below Remembers by Sharang Biswas Tensorate series by Neon Yang (even better than Brighter, imo!) and Between the Firmaments Don't Sleep With the Dead by Nhi Vo The Cosmic Color by TT Madden Countess by Suzan Palumbo The Four Profound Weaves + Yoke of Stars by RB Lemberg Mimicking of Known Successes + sequels by Malka Ann Older Sing for the Coming of the Longest Night by Iona Datt Sharma and Katherine Fabian Sorcerer of the Wildeeps + Taste of Honey by Kai Ashante Wilson

Thank you for the recommendations! I added a few of them above. I think the Tensorate series is just a tad too long to be considered Novellas.

Please give recommendations if you have any!
