Rupert Wong, Cannibal Chef
Rupert Wong, Cannibal Chef | Cassandra Khaw
3 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
It's not unusual to work two jobs in this day and age, but sorcerer and former triad soldier Rupert Wong's life is more complicated than most. By day, he makes human hors d'oeuvres for a dynasty of ghouls; by night, he pushes pencils for the Ten Chinese Hells. Of course, it never seems to be enough to buy him a new car—or his restless, flesh-eating-ghost girlfriend passage from the reincarnation cycle—until opportunity comes smashing through his window. In Kuala Lumpur, where deities from a handful of major faiths tip-toe around each other and damned souls number in the millions, it's important to tread carefully. Now the Dragon King of the South wants to throw Rupert right in it. The ocean god's daughter and her once-mortal husband have been murdered, leaving a single clue: bloodied feathers from the Greek furies. It's a clue that could start a war between pantheons, and Rupert's stuck in the middle. Success promises wealth, power and freedom, and failure... doesn't.

I honestly don‘t know how to review this book - loved the use of Chinese & Malaysian mythology juxtaposed with Taylor Swift playing on the radio but felt like I was missing some information (like accidentally reading a sequel first - but I didn‘t) but the overall vibe was great - and I‘m interested in seeing if Rupert manages to pay off his debts.

A thousand traumas you say…

So far my decision to borrow whatever Libby had by Cassandra Khaw is going marvellously.

This was a weak pick for me. I liked the story but it was a bit over-the-top. Well, how else could you describe a noir mystery featuring Lovecraftian monsters and a chef who specializes in human flesh?
