The Tangleroot Palace is a great collection containing six short stories and one novella by Marjorie Liu. This book encompasses a variety of subgenres and settings and each tale is very different from one another, but there are common elements that crop up a lot (like found family).

I'm more of a novel reader so I haven't read a huge number of collections or anthologies, but this is one of the best I've read. Though I thought some of the middles were slow and there wasn't enough page time for me to become incredibly invested (as is usually the case for me with short stories), I enjoyed every single one of these tales. Even if I had my favorites, none of these were far better or far worse than the others, and I'd love to read more of Marjorie Liu's short fiction.
