"Praise for Navigational Entanglements ""A deeply satisfying story of warring clans, ruthless politics, and the need to learn who and how to trust. All this and giant space jellyfish too!"" - Kate Elliott, New York Times bestselling author of Unconquerable Sun ""An(other) inventive, empathetic Aliette de Bodard masterpiece that impeccably balances precision and vastness, tenderness and brutality."" - Samit Basu, author of The City Inside ""Expertly mingling suspenseful space battles, political intrigue, clashing rivalries, tender romance, and the creation of a new found family, Navigational Entanglements is just dazzlingly good."" - Stephanie Burgis, author of Snowspelled Praise for Fireheart Tiger ""A delicate novella with threads of imperial politics, magical beings, queer romance and the psychology of trauma. It's a bit of a miracle to feel as if you've read a six-book fantasy series in so few pages. This book is elegant and hypnotic as the flame of a candle, and I'll be thinking for some time about the shadows it throws into relief."" - The New York Times Book Review ""What a commanding story of power and diplomacy. I was so captivated by the way this story never once flinches away from a deep sense of emotional honesty."" - Sarah Gailey, bestselling author of Magic For Liars ""A fascinating story filled with strong female characters and lush prose, the relationships woven around Thanh evolve into themes of reclaiming the self and recognizing that love can hide the truth about people... de Bodard crafts a story of love, power, and what burns within."" - Library Journal, starred review"
