A Most Anticipated Science Fiction and Fantasy of 2023 for Polygon, Goodreads, Nerd Daily, WeAreBookish , Book Riot , and The Mary Sue "Addictive queer, feminist epic fantasy. . . . The author's background as a Hollywood stunt performer enriches the kinetic action sequences, which are both easy to follow and thrilling to read. This wuxia eat-the-rich tale is a knockout ."-- Publishers Weekly , starred review " Non-stop action that will thrill you with its feminist heart. This tale's legendary gathering is the birth of true heroes: those with the imagination to understand how the world could be different for the downtrodden, and the courage to make it so. What skill it takes to turn a cornerstone of the canon upside down and yet have it feel so convincingly classic! S. L. Huang doesn't put a foot wrong in this magisterial epic."--Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun "This queer retelling of a Chinese classic is a fantastic and entertaining blend of action, humor, profanity, social justice, delightfully larger-than-life characters, and so many magnificent fight scenes! "--Kate Elliott, bestselling author of Unconquerable Sun "Rogues with hearts of gold, the motley rebels of Liangshan will warm your heart as quickly as they'll cause it to race, thump and break. Huang's writing is a god's tooth in its own right, sparking these heroes alive. Lu Junyi is a personal favorite, and her relationship with Lin Chong is a bond that binds not just two women together, but a whole revolution. If, like me, you grew up on the martial arts movies of the 80s, and are enamored by queer genderbent monks or rebels loud and quiet both--grab this book! "--Suyi Davies Okungbowa, author of Son of the Storm " SL Huang is a literary genius, and this book proves it.

Sutanto, bestselling author of Dial A for Aunties "With strong characterization, immersive worldbuilding, strong resonances with the original text, and vivid action scenes, The Water Outlaws encapsulates all the power and strength in Huang's writing ."--Paul Weimer, Hugo finalist "Huang has delivered an exciting martial arts adventure!"-- Book Riot Praise for S. L. Huang " S. L. Huang is amazing. "--Patrick Rothfuss " Calculated to mash my every emotional button. "--Amal El-Mohtar, The New York Times Book Review "S. L.

Burning Roses presents a compelling tale that favors change, the chance to forgive, and--universally--the desire to be forgiven."-- The Chicago Review of Books "Huang dazzles in this dark, diverse fairy tale remix. . . . Fantasy fans won't want to miss this ."-- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Old tales are given new life in S.L. Huang's invigorating, crossover blend of Chinese and European folk stories.

Synopsis
A Best-Of Pick for Vulture The Washington Post Publishers Weekly Men's Health IGN Polygon Goodreads Amazon Nerd Daily WeAreBookish Paste Books, Bones & Buffy The Escapist Paste Magazine SciFixFantasy Distractify Gizmodo Ms. Magazine Booklist Popsugar Book Riot Autostraddle The Mary Sue & others Finalist for the American Library Association Carnegie Medal British Science Fiction Association Award for Best Novel Nebula Award for Best Novel Ignyte Award Dragon Award Locus Award Inspired by a classic of martial arts literature, S. L. Huang's The Water Outlaws are bandits of devastating ruthlessness, unseemly femininity, dangerous philosophies, and ungovernable gender who are ready to make history--or tear it apart. "This wuxia eat-the-rich tale is a knockout."-- Publishers Weekly , starred review In the jianghu, you break the law to make it your own. Lin Chong is an expert arms instructor, training the Emperor's soldiers in sword and truncheon, battle axe and spear, lance and crossbow. Unlike bolder friends who flirt with challenging the unequal hierarchies and values of Imperial society, she believes in keeping her head down and doing her job. Until a powerful man with a vendetta rips that carefully-built life away. Disgraced, tattooed as a criminal, and on the run from an Imperial Marshall who will stop at nothing to see her dead, Lin Chong is recruited by the Bandits of Liangshan. Mountain outlaws on the margins of society, the Liangshan Bandits proclaim a belief in justice--for women, for the downtrodden, for progressive thinkers a corrupt Empire would imprison or destroy. They're also murderers, thieves, smugglers, and cutthroats. Apart, they love like demons and fight like tigers. Together, they could bring down an empire.
