Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't by me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Masquerade in Lodi (2020) by Lois McMaster Bujold




Penric is ridden by a demon! That sounds scary.  Turns out Dez, Penric’s demon, is frequently the only thing that saves Penric’s life.  In this novella, Penric helps a young saint, subdue a rogue demon.

In my opinion, the character interaction is what defines Bujold’s books.  She crafts characters with depth and color.  Penric’s been claimed by the White God that occasionally interferes with his life.  In this venture, Desmond, Penric’s demon, primarily provides what could be called multiple personality disorder conversation.

Not a great deal of action, but excellent descriptive prose on all aspects surrounding the plot.

Bujold never disappoints, I recommend this novella. 

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases if you click on a purchasing link below.#CommissionsEarned
