Edgedancer, Stormlight Archive 2.5, by Brandon Sanderson
I've loved Sanderson's Stormlight Archive from the beginning, so when I heard there was going to be a bonus novella to the series I was excited. I usually don't appreciate sidebars to my epics, but I felt like I could trust Sanderson not to waste my time.
'Edgedancer' is not a waste of time. Surprisingly, it's required. Which has its own problems, but I was planning on reading it anyway so no harm done. A real highlight of 'Words of Radiance' was the introduction of Lift, the cheerfully ignorant 'slick' thief. 'Edgedancer' follows Lift across the continent and on an adventure with has a surprising impact on the rest of the series.
