I read Juice Like Wounds as a setup for Come Tumbling Down. It's set in the Goblin Market universe, as a side quest with Moon, Lundy and Mockery. It's more lyrical and "writer-y" than the novellas. It's pretty much all explication--McGuire gives us a spoiler up front (one of the characters dies), and goes forward from there to explain the girls' characters and relationships from her omniscient perch. The action of the story is over before you know it, so I didn't get as wounded as some folks that read it. Probably optional to read in the series, but it's so quick that there's no reason not to read it. Available for free at TOR.com.
