Inside Man

What happens when a dull man tries to write a clever charactor. I was very disapointed.

Demons again, though not the way you usually think of them.

Digression into Job, good and evil, and the Plan (or lack thereof?)

K.J. Parker is a challenging writer for me to read, but he writes so well, it's worth it. Mostly.

Still the same wit that carried so much of Prosper's Demon, with the crucial difference that this narrator is more contemplative, so the ~meh pacing issues that plagued the last one isn't as noticeable here. Even a proper lack of climax didn't stop me from appreciating it less. Really good stuff, really entertaining, and I would not mind more novellas set in this verse at all honestly.

What a tough one to rate... maybe 3.5 stars? The story isn't as strong as Prosper's Demon but had some interesting philosophical takes, especially about fighting back despite the certainty of defeat.
