Descriere
Rivers of London meets A Master of Djinn in this warm-hearted, action-packed urban fantasy debut full of workplace found family, queer romance and supernatural creatures straight out of Southeast Asian lore.In the sunny city of Singapore, the government takes care of everything - even the weird stuff.Benjamin Toh is an overworked and underpaid middle manager in a government department tasked with keeping the supernatural population of Singapore happy and out of sight.But when an entire housing estate glitches out of existence on what was meant to be a routine check-in, Ben has to scramble to keep things under control and stop the rest of the city from following in its wake. He may not have the budget or the bandwidth, but he has the best - if highly irregular - team to help him. Together, they'll traverse secret shadow markets, scale skyscrapers, and maybe even go to the stars, all so they can just do their goddamn job.'Heartfelt and laugh out loud, City of Others is urban fantasy as you've never seen it before . . . I smiled my way through this entire book. An absolute breath of fresh air'Eliza Chan, author of Fathomfolk'I absolutely loved this book - couldn't tear myself away from it. A delightful and engrossing read, with a knowing wink to best office practices. Loved it'Genevieve Cogman, author of The Invisible Library
