'Azoth Bead Chain' is the second volume in Phan Hồn Nhiên's fantasy series. Continuing from the previous volume, this book also explores powers within a school setting.

The story begins with the mysterious girl - Nguyên, transferring to a prestigious international school, a friendly roommate named Khiết, and a handsome wealthy guy in everyone's eyes named Danny. The three go different paths but converge towards one direction - the bead chain. A fragmented bead chain, a mysterious bead chain passed down, a seemingly insignificant bead chain becomes the knot that ties all connections together.

In a world with many means of communication like today, how can we have a real connection? Or to live, we need human emotions. And human emotion is our endeavor, in separate islands trying to connect to someone else outside of ourselves...

“They say writing is a person. During my student days, I wrote naively, in the sense of not overdoing it. Later on, I focused on technique. I realized that before writing literature, one must know how to tell stories. The theory I learned was to apply it to writing”.

From delicate short stories that are picky about readers to long stories that attract a large number of young readers, and now a true novel, Phan Hon Nhien always reveals a desire to find a unique writing style, especially to find a modern, fresh structure, while integrating it with corresponding content.

Steel Horses achieves the delicate balance between the performance nature of an artist and the meticulous skill of a craftsman. This is a solid, sturdy, and profound novel by one of the young writers passionate and clearly aware of what needs to be done to integrate with the contemporary literary flow both domestically and globally.

Steel Horses has a three-part structure, telling three stories with completely different characters. They may be named Bach, Son, Anna, Anne, Hoan; or referred to by pronouns in different houses such as 'she', 'twin', 'elder brother', 'younger brother'... These characters are all intellectuals, successful artists in their careers, but each in their own way, they encounter tragedies when connecting with the world.

Beginning the story with a sharp, cold, somewhat chilling narrative tone, but as it progresses, the story becomes more intense. Like a race where the closer the runner gets to the finish line, the harder they push to get closer.

Set in a fictional setting, yet what unfolds is incredibly realistic, intimate, and deeply connects to the reader's world, making them shiver. It's not just about environmental statistics, planets, nature, or the disappearance of species like the orange roughy, snow trout... It's also about each individual human, about what they hide deep inside that cannot be concealed by a smile. It's the desire for control, to stand at the top, to become a leader, because 'The gift for the failed is oblivion. Glory is the destination of all desires.'
