A Top-10 SF/F/H 2021 upcoming title.

"Liu’s mastery of so many different subgenres astounds, and her ear for language carries each story forward on gorgeously crafted sentences. This is a must-read ." -Publishers Weekly, Starred Review, 

"Readers find that Liu’s writing is all ‘soul and teeth.’ Neither will release them quickly. The only drawback to these seven stories is that readers will want far more time in each world." -Kirkus, Starred Review

"The Tangleroot Palace is charming and ruthless. Tales that feel new yet grounded in the infinitely ancient, a mythology for the coming age." -Angela Slatter

"A glittering, twisty, take on tales that seem familiar until Liu hands you her version. You won't be able to put it down." -Charlaine Harris

"This is a superb collection from start to finish. Mysterious, beautiful and strange, harsh and charming. And timeless. Utterly timeless." -Charles de Lint

"Rich and evocative tales with just the right amount of bite." -Kelley Armstrong

“Some authors excel at one thing; others can do it all. Whether it's fairy tales or superheroes or the post-apocalypse, Liu always delivers, and with her own unique spin.” -Marie Brennan

“Beautifully written, deeply engaging, and full of wonder and strong female characters.” -Grimdark Magazine

“Vivid writing that lights up my brain. Evocative settings. Memorable characters engaged in dark struggles. When I read Marjorie Liu’s stories, I know I’m in the hands of a master.” -Carrie Vaughn

“Liu’s astonishing range reaches stunning heights of savagery and tenderness, with groundbreaking visions of fairy tales, alternate history, and high fantasy, even challenging the conventions of feminism itself. Long-time fans and new readers alike will be swept away by the tragic romance, nail-biting adventure, and dread-inducing terror found within these boundary-pushing texts, where representation is the key ingredient to supremely engaging storylines, accessible to all.” -Cemetery Dance
