I enjoyed this book very much. We meet Dao Shi, a historian-turned-conman who discovers that he really is an exorcist, and not merely a charlatan, when he runs across a nasty demon in the course of his quotidian fakery. He continues with his usual manner of making a living, occasionally being called upon to genuinely exorcise a demon, when he finds himself caught up in political intrigue that is beyond his ken and more dangerous to him than the demons he has met.I was disappointed when I got to the end of the book. I wanted it to continue. If there is a sequel to it, I will buy it. I liked Dai Shen, and I liked the easy story-telling of I.F. Rowan. I would have enjoyed spending more time in their company.
