3 stars. Three Parts Dead is an enjoyable novel set in an interesting world. It's a mix of many genres -- fantasy, steampunk, mystery, & paranormal. The story does bounce around a lot though, and I wish some of the characters and their relationships were developed better. Overall, it's rough around the edges but shows a lot of potential for the upcoming books.

I should have liked this a lot more than I did, given that there are so many awesome elements in it. I think the major problem I had is that I am a visual reader, and the sense of place just felt missing in so much of the book. I can imagine it working for other types of readers, and would recommend it, even if it didn't gel 100% for me.
