The October Man (no real spoilers)

Just read through the new Rivers of London novella, featuring a new protagonist. I enjoyed it, but rushed through it too quickly and want to go back and reread. It's nice having an alternate view of the Folly and the timeline of magic history in general, and I wonder if he's going to set a story in France as well. (I know one of the shorts had a French character.)

I don't think it's fair to compare Tobias to Peter yet, as Peter's had multiple full novels to flesh out his character and Tobias has only had the one novella, so I'll say I'm interested in getting to know him a bit more. (And I like the fact that he asked his team to bring him snacks while he was waiting around at a job.) I do really like Vanessa, and I'm interested in the rivers that appear in the story.
