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.
