A god has died, and it’s up to Tara, a first-year associate in the international necromantic firm of Kelethras, 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’ 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.
Set in a phenomenally built world in which justice is a collective force bestowed on a few, craftsmen fly on lightning bolts, and gargoyles can rule cities, Three Parts Dead introduces listeners to an ethical landscape in which the line between right and wrong blurs.
About the author: Max Gladstone went to Yale, where he wrote a short story that became a finalist in the Writers of the Future competition. He lives in Boston.

My main issue was the narrator. She just didn't click with me. I liked 9/10ths of the voices she used, but disliked the voice she used for Tara. She made one of the main characters sound as if she had a lisp, or something. It was super minor, but it bugged me.
Great story, but the narrator was off

The narrator was ok... Aside from the two main characters, the voices weren't really distinct. But unlike some other reviewers, I didn't think she was terrible.
An average experience all around.

What did you love best about Three Parts Dead?
I loved the narration. I can understand that some folk felt the narrator over-enunciated. I listen to audiobooks mostly while exercising, cooking, or other tasks that generate considerable background noise. For me, this narrator was a godsend. I could understand everything perfectly, and didn't have to re-listen to sections as I normally do.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The world is a fantastic and modern take on what could've been useful fantasy. It's not usual at all, though— and the worldbuilding is what has me returning for the sequels.Crisp and clear narration.

Interesting genre bender

My biggest issue was with the narration. While it was easy to distinguish the different characters, everyone sounded very douchey/arrogant/dismissive. I'm sure that was the intention for the antagonists, but they only sounded MORE douchey/arrogant/dismissive.
The narrator also contributed to the previously mentioned overly descriptive text by over emphasizing places that just made me roll my eyes. Might just be me, but it was distracting.
Other than that, the story itself, as well as the magic system, was very interesting.
Kinda meh, but pretty good
