| Summary, etc.: | "Discover the destiny of the Craft in Dead Country, the beginning of the end of Max Gladstone's beloved fantasy epic. BOOK ONE OF THE CRAFT WARS SERIES Since her village chased her out with pitchforks, Tara Abernathy has resurrected gods, pulled down monsters, averted wars, and saved a city, twice. She thought she'd left her dusty little hometown forever. But that was before her father died. As she makes her way home to bury him, she finds a girl, as powerful and vulnerable and lost as she once was. Saving her from raiders, twisted by a remnant of the God Wars, who haunt the area, Tara changes the course of the world. Max Gladstone's world of the Craft is a fantasy setting like no other. When Craftspeople rose up to kill the gods, they built corporate Concerns from their corpses and ushered in a world of rapacious capital. Those who work the Craft wield laws like knives and weave chains from starlight and soulstuff. Dead Country is the first book in the Craft Wars Series, a tight sequence of novels that will bring the sprawling saga of the Craft to its end, and the perfect entry point for this incomparable world. Also Available by Max Gladstone: The Craft Sequence 1. Three Parts Dead 2. Two Serpents Rise 3. Full Fathom Five 4. Last First Snow 5. Four Roads Cross 6. Envy of Angels Last Exit Empress of Forever This is How You Lose the Time War (with Amal El-Mohtar)"-- Provided by publisher. |

Dead Country launches the new Craft Wars trilogy and continues Gladstone's (Last Exit, 2022) story of Tara Abernathy, a Craftswoman who fights shadow and curse with magic forged from logic, will, and soul energy. She's encountered all kinds of epic adventures, but somehow none have been so hard as the simple act of going home to mourn her father's death, of returning to the village she once ran from and facing her mother again. And on arrival, she finds that the Raiders of the Badlands have turned deadly. With childhood friend Connor and unexpected new apprentice Dawn, Tara has to use everything she has to save the town she loves, even if it doesn't love her back. Gladstone's world is intricate and fascinating, and newcomers to it will get enough exposition to be able to enjoy this new trilogy. While the pacing of the narrative is slow, Gladstone's rich, poetic writing, compelling place making, and convincing characters make this a great read, somehow both intensely expansive and satisfyingly contained within a character-based growth narrative.
