"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"

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

"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."

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

"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

Praise for Monstress

?Brilliant . . . Stuffed with intricate myths, dense history, crisscrossing political relationships and magical technology, the world of Monstress is everything a fantasy reader could want.? - NPR Books

?With 'Monstress', the Chinese-American writer and her Japanese illustrator now have a platform that allows them to represent the breadth of their cultures and aesthetic interests.? - LA Review of Books

?The most ambitious comic book on the market. It takes guts to go all out and create a swirling fantasy adventure at a time when the industry is trending toward sci-fi, superhero, and more grounded stories.? VOX

?Marjorie Liu is incredibly talented and this book gives a taste of all the things she?s capable of. She easily goes from horror to fairy tale to post-apocalyptic paranormal, and why not throw in some superhero-inspired story, a handful of zombies and a defiant princess in there.? - SFF Reviews

?Liu?s dynamic writing style and clever story concepts are the real standouts?she is just as capable of producing evocative, romantic writing as she is pounding out gritty, electric scenes of violent revenge.? - Locus
