1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Detective Inspector Chen is back! The Snake Agent returns in The Shadow Pavilion, the fourth Detective Inspector Chen novel from Liz Williams. When Chens partner, the demon Seneschal Zhu Irzh, disappears, Chen must enlist all of his allies and assets in order to locate him. Meanwhile, Zhu Irzh finds himself trapped in an unfamiliar jungle Hell, stalked by a rogue demon lord and his harem of tigress demons. An assassin from between worlds targets Mhara, the new Emperor of Heaven. And a beautiful starlet holds a deadly secret... From the strange streets of Singapore Three to the rough and tumble world of Bollywood, where money flows fast and emotions flare even faster; from the realms of the Celestial to the haunts of the Infernal and all the spaces in between, The Shadow Pavilion delivers the thrills, excitement, and near-future occult action fans have come to expect.

This is one schizophrenic book. Two intertwined but independent plots, both with equal weight. Chaotic as always, but this time it kind of works—or maybe I just got used to the setting and the characters enough for it not to bother me...?

(Although the part with tiger demons from India IS kind of superfluous—especially since it doesn‘t tie into the “main” plot almost at all)

Still, I kind of liked it...?
