Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone
4.5
Overall I really liked the originality, but found the execution somewhat lacking. I did enjoy it a fair bit though and will probably finish the series
Here were my main issues with it:
- somewhat clunky ending
- writing a magical mystery can feel a bit arbitrary when the reader is figuring out how the magic works as the mystery is unfolding. New magical details always seem to pop up in the “courtroom” sections that change the evidence
- ending was a bit clunky. It’s hard to believe that ms kevarian was some Machiavellian mestermind after how she was written at the dinner, from her pov.
- writing and characterization was ok but not the best.
