Book 48: Three Parts Dead

Max Gladstone has crafted an intriguing world filled with the usual suspects of urban fantasy (demons, vampires, magicians) and not so common characters (living gods and gargoyles).  Gladstone gives us a great central character, a necromatic lawyer capable of great magic.  The first few pages were a bit jarring as I had to adjust to the world that he created, but once I got there, I loved this book.  It drags at some points, but overall, just a great ride.
