Books like Precious Little Things

Aaahh!! I was so excited to find a prequel for Adrian Tchaikovsky's novella Made Things free online at Tor.com. More living puppets FTW!!Tam is a low-grade but determined wooden puppet (homunculus) who has carved a daughter to the very best of his ability. He beseeches the noble magician puppets for some gold to put on his daughter as filigree, to make her a better class puppet and improve her chances in the puppet's world. The magicians agree, if he will send his daughter to them for training when she has been imbued with magical life and learned to control her body. The second half of this story is told from the point of view of Liet, Tam's daughter. This is a charming world, but Tchaikovsky deals with some universal human issues here, and it's not all sweetness and light.Full review to come. You can read this either before or after Made Things, and I recommend both! Link to story on Tor: https://www.tor.com/2019/11/20/precio...
