Starred review is written in all caps against a space background. The Library Journal review excerpt reads: This elaborate novel takes a locked-room murder mystery into outer space. Exploring themes of faith and philosophy, evolution and self-awareness, Sui creates a beautifully crafted world, sprinkled with a bit of horror and romance.

The Iron Garden Sutra got its first starred review (and is the SFF pick of the month) !!! 👀

Hi Ali! Since we prefer only having one submission with the agency out at a time, I’d ask you to wait until the other agent is done with it, and if it ends up not being for them, you can submit to me :) Do you mind letting me know what agent has it, also?

I’m thrilled to have Seren as part of the Azantian team!

I literally could not put this manuscript down; I stayed up all night reading it and drafted my offer email as dawn broke. Emotional, anti-imperialist, and with a protagonist I’d follow to the ends of the earth, I can’t wait to share! ⚔️🪶

Absolutely thrilled to have @breewernicke.bsky.social on board!

Her fantasy of manners is a masterclass in voice and prose, both poignant and hilarious, and truly had me giggling and kicking my feet over the holiday break. I’m so excited to get this out there! 🌪️

I'm so excited to welcome Catherine to the Azantian team! This is the dreamiest, strangest adult fantasy I've read in a long while, with a Moulin Rouge!-esque backdrop and the labyrinthine element of Piranesi. I fell in love with it from the start and can't wait to share! 🎭💞✨
