Book three in this series pretty much fixes whatever problems were in book 2. Tight story, great character fun. Accurate (within reason) depictions of alternate universe Chinese mythologies.
I still don't like the relationship Irzh has with his paramour, however, all interactions between him and Chen are excellent and had me squealing happily. Inari gets to come out and actively do something!
While book one was explosive and tight for a story in the human realm, Book three notches up sev...more

This novel was so good! I picked it up from the library because it had an interesting cover. And I'm so glad I did!
The storyline and characters were quite unlike anything I've read before. They were original and interesting. This is part of a series I have never read before but I will be sure to read the others.
If you like mystery and fantasy and a good story, you need to try this one!

"Just for once, Chen thought, I'd like to be taken aback by proof of someone's innocence."
Ahh, Inspector Chen. He so crazy.
Liz Williams' Inspector Chen novels are beautiful, awesome and excellently told tales and if you don't like them I can only assume that you are just no fun and hate everything that is good in the world. Obviously, the terrorists have already won.

And here the series has been written into a corner. While there's obviously room for the characters to move on, there were some pretty big events in this book which would make thinking of a suitable (future) plot fairly difficult, IMO.

Better than the last one I think. The plotlines and the ending were really ridiculous but the concepts are so entertaining that I try not to notice the faults. Chen himself has such great one-liners.
