Both stories are quite good, and welcome additions to the Revelation Space universe. Between the two I personally preferred Diamond Dogs just because it was a fair bit darker in tone. It did a phenomenal job of building tension. A fair bit of body horror to it though.

The second story, Turquoise Days, has us spending some more time with the Pattern Jugglers. They are such an interesting element of this universe. I especially appreciated how real and complex the relationship between the sisters felt.
