First reviews of DEMON AND THE CITY

[lizwilliams]

From the Library Journal:

Williams's second novel* (after Snake Agent) featuring Chen and his otherworldly sidekick delivers another dose of fantastic adventure, blending Chinese mythology, elements of an
old-fashioned murder mystery, and a generous dollop of acerbic humor. A good
addition to most fantasy collections, this novel should appeal to both
mystery and fantasy readers.

(*it's the 2nd in the Snake Agent series, but it's actually my 8th published novel).

from Publisher's Weekly we have:

The second Detective Inspector Chen novel traverses a wildly imaginative landscape based on Chinese mythology...Williams weaves a rich, complicated tapestry that merges life with afterlife, otherworldly with worldly and human with inhuman.

So far so good! Fingers crossed.

It's a good book (he says, having gotten a quarter of the way in, with growing enthusiasm) and a good series.

Hmm. Do you have a paperback publisher lined up for it?

Thanks! Night Shade are bringing Snake Agent out in trade paperback this month, and Demon will follow it.

Good news that this is out... as I finished Snake Agent at the weekend and loved it - possibly my favorite of all yours (well, it could be Nine Layers of Sky or Empire of Bones but as I've finished work I've stopped making decisions for the day).

Excellent.

Way to go! May they be the first of many...
