A review by kathydavie
When Demons Walk by Patricia Briggs

4.0

Third in the Sianim fantasy series of very loosely connected stories.

My Take
Wow. Patricia Briggs has done it again. This story has all the homeyness and personality I have found in her other series. I've fallen in love with Sham and Kerim and am desperately hoping that Briggs will consider another installment.

The only connection any of the books have is the countries involved and the ae'Magi although the Voice of Altis does get a mention in When Demons Walks.

When Demons Walk, does not answer any of the questions raised in Steal the Dragon, 2, although...the instructions sent out by the Voice of Altis in When Demons Walk would seem to support a positive outcome.

The Story
To survive, Sham has spent most of her young life stealing from Southwood's nobility. Now, as the city's nobles fall prey to a killer, Sham is called on to help, and must use all of her magical wisdom to send the demon away.

The Characters
Sham is a young thief, mistress, lady, and sorceress whose skills will be called upon.

Southwood is…
…a country plagued by demons.

Cybelle is…
…where the Voice of Altis is the current ruler.
