review 1: I found this one a bit of a slog. The setting is modern Hong Kong, overlain with what people if my generation with think of as "Monkey Magic" Chinese mythos. It's a good setting, showing some imagination. To my taste, it has way too much dialogue and too little narrative text. Major, life changing plot points come and go in the space of a paragraph, and then we are back to pages and pages of banter. Perhaps starting this series without having read the previous series in the setting didn't help: like others, I didn't realise this was a sequel series until I was well into the book. I don't think I had any trouble following what was going on, but perhaps if you start earlier, you have more rapport with the characters.
review 2: I tried, but just couldn't get into ... morethis. It didn't help that this is the second trilogy of the series, so basically it's book 4, although it doesn't tell you that. It's a wonderfully inventive world, and there's a lot going on, but without the background of the previous three books, I couldn't keep track of what was happening or understand why things were significant. Shame, because I wanted to like it. Big mistake on the part of the publisher. less
