Although Tara is concerned that her controversial past as a student might cause some problems, her direct supervisor and eventual mentor Elayne Kevarian intimates those issues are partially why she asked Tara to apprentice with her. Tara finds work with the firm of Kelethres, Albrecht, and Ao where she is given the assignment of uncovering the death of Kos in the city of Alt Coulumb. Well, rather, the novel proper begins there since Max shows us the God’s death which is the mystery of the novel’s plot before introducing readers to Tara.Īfter Tara falls out of the sky, she apprentices herself to an investigative/legal firm and seeks to uncover the plot behind the death of Kos the Everburning, the God found lifeless in the prologue. He shows a world of Gods, Sorcerers, Lawyers and Politics through the eyes of Tara Abernathy, a young Craftswoman who literally falls from the sky in the opening pages of the novel after a less than smooth tenure as a student of the Hidden Schools. Max is a tricksy tease of a writer and the world he’s given readers a glimpse of in the first published novel in The Craft Sequence is wonderfully fascinating. A lot can be said about Max Gladstone and his debut novel, Three Parts Dead.
