Stunningly good. Stupefyingly good. --Patrick Rothfuss
Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence chronicles the epic struggle to build a
just society in a modern fantasy world.
A god has died, and it's up to Tara, first-year associate in the
international necromantic firm of Kelethres, Albrecht, and Ao, to bring
Him back to life before His city falls apart.
Her client is Kos, recently deceased fire god of the city of Alt
Coulumb. Without Him, the metropolis's steam generators will shut down,
its trains will cease running, and its four million citizens will riot.
Tara's job: resurrect Kos before chaos sets in. Her only help: Abelard,
a chain-smoking priest of the dead god, who's having an understandable
crisis of faith.
When Tara and Abelard discover that Kos was murdered, they have to make
a case in Alt Coulumb's courts?and their quest for the truth endangers
their partnership, their lives, and Alt Coulumb's slim hope of survival.
Set in a phenomenally built world in which lawyers ride lightning
bolts, souls are currency, and cities are powered by the remains of
fallen gods, Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence introduces readers to a
modern fantasy landscape and an epic struggle to build a just society.
