The Mysteries of Thorn Manor was an extremely cute novella. I personally liked this story better than Sorcery of Thorns because it features fun fantasy hijinks and has a light-hearted and low stakes vibe. I think the shorter story does the author’s writing style justice, because I found some parts of Sorcery of Thorns boring and I didn’t have this problem with the novella. I would highly recommend reading this if you liked Sorcery of Thorns.
