Location: Jack's apartment (will send address closer to the event)
Join us to discuss the first half of Max Gladstone's Three Parts Dead, the first book in his Craft Sequence series.
There is limited seating, so if people are able and willing to bring their own chairs or cushions to sit on, that would be appreciated. There is also a cat in the apartment. If anyone has allergies I can keep him in the other room for the event but if it's still a problem, please make whatever decision is right for you.

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.

(For context, the Craft Sequence consists of six books, the first five of which all have a number in their title that relates to where they take place on the timeline. Three Parts Dead is in the middle chronologically, but was published first so you don't need to have read anything else. Four Roads Cross is a direct sequel to this book, while books one and two take place in a different city on the other side of the continent, following different characters. Five and six similarly cover a different location.)
