<p>I've finished: Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone</p><p>I accidentally entered Gladstone's Craft universe through the wrong door. Starting with: Dead Country, The Craft Wars <a href="/tags/1/" rel="tag">#1</a>. I decided to go back to the beginning of the Craft Sequence. </p><p>Thee Parts Dead was a delight. So many neat ideas, such a rich world. </p><p>It is a perfect mix: of the ancient and modern, of the magical and scientific, of old tropes and new. </p><p>I love the glimpses we get of a wider world and a deeper history. Hinting at a bigger universe beyond the limits of this novel. </p><p>It is both a light read and a complex tapestry of original twists on old tropes and new ideas that will peak the interest of an experienced fantasy reader. </p><p><a href="https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/320caeca-00f8-4312-a2ba-7c04f7a5405a" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="app.thestorygraph.com/books/320caeca-00f8-4312-a2ba-7c04f7a5405a"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">app.thestorygraph.com/books/32</span><span class="invisible">0caeca-00f8-4312-a2ba-7c04f7a5405a</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@audiofiction" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>audiofiction</span></a></span> <br><a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#fantasy</a> <a href="/tags/sff/" rel="tag">#SFF</a> <a href="/tags/amreading/" rel="tag">#amReading</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/audiobooks/" rel="tag">#AudioBooks</a> <a href="/tags/maxgladstone/" rel="tag">#MaxGladstone</a></p>
