I'm so glad to hear that you read and enjoyed Jhereg -- this is one of the SFF series of my heart, which I don't recommend too broadly because it's so weird and the unreliable narrator can be a lot of work, but I love them and I'm always thrilled when people embark on them.
(That said, Yendi is one of the weakest in the series, so if you don't enjoy it as much as Jhereg, don't get discouraged -- there's better to come! It is still a romp, though, IMO.)
Also, yay for Spinning Silver! I found it really interesting to read first the novel and then the shorter thing it grew out of (novelette, maybe?), because it was neat to see what was kept and what was changed. Horrible little man Mirnatius and secondary girlboss are additions to the novel which I do think are absolutely justified, but there's some Miryem-centric stuff that I frankly liked better in the original :)
