The Tangleroot Palace is a short story collection with 7 different stories written at different times by Marjorie Liu!

I thought the stories were very atmospheric with great writing! Like in all short story collections I liked some more than others, but I mostly leaned towards the positive for all of them. I especially liked hearing what prompted the different stories originally, and it was interesting to see so many of them focused around a dark forest, haha. My favorite was “Briar and the Rose”, which had a really dark themed but it hooked me in a lot and I would love it as a longer novel. Would recommend if you want to chill with a short story collection! 4/5 stars.

My Contrary Mary is a retelling of Mary Queen of Scots, set in the same world as My Lade Jane!

I have only read My Lady Jane by this trio and really enjoyed it! This one is following my favorite queen so the excitement was real. Really enjoy the writing, the humor and the rewriting lol! I just thought it created some plotholes for itself, and not all the character povs were not as fun all the time. Even though I wanted to like them and I did (mostly). Generally, a lot of fun and recommend these books are lot! 3.5/5 stars.
