The Tangleroot Palace by Marjorie M. Liu

---

Marjorie Liu's previous works are fantastic, and The Tangleroot Palace is no exception. The majority of the short stories in this collection read like they were meant to be longer works, but work as stand alones. Liu does a fantastic job of building intricate worlds and characters within the limited number of pages, including a blurb about the inspiration behind the stories. I loved reading these, trying to guess the roots behind the stories. The stories varied in genre, in my opinion, from more horror leaning to sci-fi and romance, which I thoroughly enjoyed. My favorites were "Call Her Savage" and "After the Blood" (I was so disappointed when this last one ended! So many questions!).

Highly recommend for fantasy/speculative fiction fans looking for something to gobble up.

Thank you to Netgalley and Tachyon Publications for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!
