The Demon and the City (Detective Inspector Chen Novels)
I went in this book knowing Chen wasn't the main character and that Inari was not in it either. Knowing this I wasn't annoyed by the focus on Zhu Irzh and how he finds his balance and fits in Singapore 3.Againg the world building is interesting and kept me reading. The new character, Jhai Teserai, I'm on the fence about. She did felt like a variation of the damsel in distress. Especially since it's having a physical relationship with Zhu Irzh that kinda 'saves' her. Still the plot kept me reading, I love Zhu Irzh and eventually Chen arrived back from vacation and they were off again trying to save the city and well.. the world.
