The Recitation of the Most Holy and Harrowing Pilgrimage of Mindy and Also Mork by Seanan McGuire

The Recitation of the Most Holy and Harrowing Pilgrimage of Mindy and Also Mork is a short story included at the end of Tricks for Free, though ironically it's actually set mostly before this book has begun.
It's set sometime between Magic for Nothing, and Tricks for Free, and follows two series of events. The first one should be fairly obvious: the adventure two Aeslin mice (Mindy and Mork) must go on in order to find their way home.
The other follows the one and only Sam, a carnie brat who is determined to find Annie, even if that means dealing with her dead aunt. Yes, you read that right. If you're up to date in the series, that sadly will make a lot of sense.
Both perspectives are a lot of fun to read, and the inclusion of this short did help, as the Aeslin mice are otherwise not present in Tricks for Free (I know! My poor heart). I also really enjoyed Sam's perspective. Then again, I adore his character, so that really shouldn't be that much of a surprise, huh?

Always fun to spend more time with great characters. But I felt like this story didn't have as much actual story as I would have liked.

I like this opportunity to get Sam and Mindy’s perspectives. It’s a brief story but good. The Aeslin Mice are fascinating, and I'll happily read anything about how they view their world.

Before this series, I didn't think I could be invested in the romantic lives of mice, but here we are. Made me feel a bit the way I used to when watching The Rescuers, honestly, and that was a very cozy lovely feeling. A wonderful mid-installment of this series.
