(Penric and Desdemona (Publication order) #1)
On his way to his betrothal, young Lord Penric comes upon a riding accident with an elderly lady on the ground, her maidservant and guardsmen distraught. As he approaches to help, he discovers that the lady is a Temple divine, servant to the five gods of this world. Her avowed god is The Bastard, 'master of all disasters out of season', and with her dying breath she bequea..more

I can honestly say that I enjoyed this novella set in the Chalion universe more than all the other tales so far. It's a simple one about a boy landing into trouble and making good by it as well as the solid start to the rest of his life, like all coming of age stories, but this one highlights and shines the peculiar nature of the spirits and of magic in Bujold's universe.

Loved this! I’ve only read one other book by this author and that was part of her sci fi series. But at heart I am a fantasy fan and this was terrific. It reminds me of ‘A Skinful of Shadows’ in terms of how the demon possession works. I’m really looking forward to reading the rest of these novellas.

I've been saving this for the right time, which seemed to be today. Because I love the Chalion books as much as I love Miles and Company, I knew I would plunge happily into this world again, and this lovely novella fulfilled all expectations.

Penric's Demon is the first in a series of novellas set in Lois McMaster Bujold's World of the Five Gods series. If this first outing for Penric and Desdemona, his demon, is anything to go by then this series is going to be every bit as good as the fantastic Curse of Chalion. This followed the story of young Lord Penric who contracted a demon after stopping in the road to help an injured Temple Divine. That Temple Divine was a sorcerer and after she died her demon jumped to the unwary Penric!

'Penric's Demon' brings us back to the world of the Chalion books, but it's a stand-alone story. While on his way to his betrothal, a young man encounters an elderly woman on the road who's been taken ill. He stops to see if he can assist, but she's just had a heart attack, and dies in his arms.

Novellas are always a bit tricky for me. It's hard to get invested in something so short. Given how short it is, this one took its time to get going. The first half is slow. But once it started moving, I remembered why I love this world. I'm hoping the next one will be better because half of it won't be taken up with Penric learning what it means to be a sorcerer. I like both him and his demon though. Looking forward to reading more about them.

I've been putting this off for a while now because . . . I don't honestly know why. Mood or stupidity, probably. Or both. Finally, I noticed that it's part of the Audible Romance Subscription, for whatever reason (it's not a romance, not even a little) and I couldn't resist.

No creepy age differences, no dubious consent, no horrific sado-masochism.

Why haven’t I ever read any Lois McMaster Bujold before now? I finally understand why she is referred to as a scifi/fantasy master.
I got this out from the library on a whim, as I was feeling like escaping from the gloomy January weather into a fantasy world. This novella delivered more than I was expecting. The characters were intricate, but not overwritten. The story had all the adventure I was craving.
It is about time I investigate the rest of this author’s books.

A little gem with highly likable characters, an engaging storyline, some hilarious moments, and an 'Aww..' ending. The only caveat: you have to be familiar with the World of the Five Gods to get the most out of it.

Is it boring of me that I like this the best of all the Hugo novellas so far because it's just a straight up fantasy, well done? Stylistic risks can pay off big time, but they can also go horribly wrong for a reader. This was just good. I hope she writes more about Penric and Desdemona. I'd be really interested to see where they end up.
In which I am reminded that I have read very little Bujold, and this is a deep, personal moral failing on my part.

This is the first of three novellas set in the Five Worlds universe. Like the novels before it, it has world building, characters and writing that are just superb. I particularly enjoy the way Bujold is able to create not just a perfectly congruent religion with its own culture but to also actually portray a sense of the numinous, with a dash of humour mixed in. This is wonderful - a sheer delight. And there are two more novellas to follow - what joy!
Actual rating: 4.5/5
Good folks from r/fantasy recommended me Penric's Demon as a short palate cleaner between longer and more engaging books. They were right.

I must admitt that I don't remember much from the novels of this Universe, but this is quite standalone, so no sweat there.
The characters are nicely made, but the story could've been much better than it is.
Maybe the story wasn't so fresh for me because this ideea of a man possesed by a demon I just encountered in the brilliant novels of Phil Tucker. So, maybe there's the catch .
Overall it offers some good quality hours of fantasy reading. And now I'm going to the second one in the series.

The first two books of this series are two of my all-time favorites, from one of my very favorite authors. I'd urge any fantasy-lover who has not read The Curse of Chalion and Paladin of Souls to do so. Paladin in particular has a middle-aged female heroine with courage, wit, strength, integrity, a difficult past and very human flaws. So rare.

easy, fun and entertaining after a fairly slow beginning; while it is set in the 5 world god universe in between the author's famous 3 novels there (Curse of Chalion etc - all highly recommended), you don't need to have read the novels (or remember too many details); the naive but charming main character and his newly acquired companion 'Desdemona' get used with one another and have a few adventures together; good stopping point and book 2 with Penric is out now
Oh that was splendid. I enjoyed this story very much, and hope for more in the Future Adventures of Penric and his Demon, very much so.

What a great way to begin my reading year!
Bujold has become so much of a comfort reading. Even when I read a new book of hers, I settle down into a familiar world and rhythm quickly. Penric is not a very eventful or complicated read, but its characters are instantly likable, kind and pleasant to follow. I chuckled more than a little, reading this, and can't wait to get round to the next volumes. I think I will try to pace myself, though.
(The ending in particular was so emotionally satisfying!)
