Nice combination of legal thriller and non-contemporary urban fantasy (It's almost, but not quite steampunkesque). What if gods were real - and signed contracts with their worshippers?And what happens when a god dies? Cool MC, fun world, and definitely one for the law geeks.
I cannot thank the Fountainpendiva enough for her review of this book. It convinced me to buy it when it was on sale for the kindle. It is like OMG SO AWESOME! Tara has been ejected from the Unseen Schools of the Craft and eventually finds employment. Her first job ...
Max Gladstone's Three Parts Dead, the first in the Craft Sequence series, is an ambitious urban fantasy. Its themes and setting are reminiscent of N.K. Jemisin's Inheritance Trilogy. Unfortunately, Gladstone's work lacks Jemisin's finesse with both language and plot.Three Parts Dead is set in a worl...

The worldbuilding fascinates me, particularly the way the author welds magic with contract law into some strange amalgam of the two. I like what we see of broader politica...
Vierzig Jahre nach dem Krieg zwischen den alten Göttern und den gleichmächtigen Magiern gibt es nur noch wenige Städte, die von einer der alten Gottheiten regiert werden. Kos Everburning ist die Gottheit von Alt Coulumb und gerade dahingeschieden, als der Novize Abelard sein Gebet abhält. Mit dem un...
Three Parts Dead is a fantasy novel that teases at the senses and perceptions of the reader. Gladstone takes some fantasy concepts and weaves them into a creation that has its own flavor and feel. It's not urban fantasy in the common sense. It's not epic fantasy, either. It's a novel that forges its...
4.5. I think it could have played out better with about 50 pages more, considering the intricacy of the plot. As it is, the last 2 chapters were a bit cumbersome, but other than that? Damn near perfect. I wish more male authors would take a page from Gladstone's book and figure out that your word pr...
