MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD
These articles are written for the fan who has the read every book and want to know more. Expect spoilers, many spoilers.
It’s a truth universally acknowledged, that the order of books in the Craft Sequence is confusing. The author himself has said as much.
But have no fear, intrepid reader – we have pulled together NINE different reading orders for you to choose from.
A nerdy deep dive into demographics of POV characters in the Craft Sequence.
Masterpost of all articles in the Skazzerai / Space Spiders series.
Dawn is possibly the most important new character we meet in Dead Country - yet we learn perishingly little about her. Who exactly is Dawn? And is ‘who’ even the right question?
The Craft Sequence is a sprawling series with characters showing up in different narratives and meeting all sorts of characters. This somewhat crazy article tracks the connections between the main characters in a conspiracy theory style wall.
Our upbringings shape us, for better or for worse. What was Tara Abernathy’s childhood and upbringing like? How did it shape the woman she became? Part of the Tara Deep Dive series.
Third in the skazzerai series. Tara has learnt a lot about the demonic space spiders en route to the Craft world, but it isn’t until the end of Dead Country that she finds out their connection to her old nemesis Alexander Denovo - and what he did in the desert.
Alexander Denovo looms large over the Craft Sequence despite his early death. As his influence comes back in the Craft Wars trilogy, we ask: who is he, and what does he want?
A magical storm showing every possible future now only shows one: the end of the world. What did Tara and Dawn see in the edge storm? What does that mean for the rest of the Craft Wars trilogy?
The end of the world is coming. Tara and her allies are gearing up to fight the skazzerai, spider-like creatures from deepest space - but how much do they (and we) know about this great enemy? Here’s everything we find out in the first half of Dead Country.
Choice of the Deathless is the first of two unconnected choose-your-own-adventure text games set in the world of the Craft Sequence, set several years before the novels. This article looks at the different chapters of the game, key characters, and the awards you can win through different choices - everything you need to know is right here.
We’ve looked at almost every reference to dragons in the Craft Sequence, so now we’re bringing out the big guns - figuratively and literally. Read on to see how dragons act as magical jumbo jets and also corpse WMDs - yes, literally.
Tara Abernathy is the main character of the CRAFT WARS trilogy, and a major protagonist of the CRAFT SEQUENCE series. But who is she? How does she develop over the series so far? This introduction to Tara Abernathy starts our new character deep dive series - check it out.
In Quechal mythology, the skazzerai are demonic spiders at the end of the universe spinning webs between the stars. We have evidence they’ve visited the world of Craft before ‘to eat’ - and it looks like they’re going to play a part in the CRAFT WARS endgame. So, what’s the deal with the space spiders?
Shaping reality and underpinning all magic in the Craft Sequence are words and belief. We take a deep dive into how this works in the Craft Sequence with examples from across the series.
In ‘honour’ (cough) of the Platinum Jubilee, let’s do a deep dive into everyone’s favourite Camlaander, GAL.
Who – and what – is she? What are the Knights of Camlaan? Will we see her again? And what is her secret heritage?
Everything we learned about the CRAFT SEQUENCE from Max Gladstone’s March 2022 Reddit AMA.
The Grimwald family have their (literally) shadowy fingers (in every proverbial pie in the Craft Sequence. Although they only show up in ‘person’ in two books, their small roles are absolutely essential to the plot and to the state of the Craft world.
Who or what are they? What do they want?
How does magic work in the Craft Sequence? Two forms of magic, the Craft and Applied Theology, work on many of the same principles with some key differences - one is the magic of the people, and one is the magic of the gods. Part one of a series.
The major twist at the end of Three Parts Dead is deftly built up through clues and foreshadowing - here is every single one. MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD.
Vampires are creatures of Craft, and we get to know one - Raz Pelham - early on in the series. Yet, something doesn’t add up; despite how commonplace we’re told they are, we rarely see vampires in the rest of the books. But something tells me we’re going to see more soon…
