Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I haven't read the entire series, but the Craft Sequence by Max Gladstone totally fits
- Strange: the Craft Sequence. In a world where souls are currency and the global economy is run by deities and undead CEOs, a couple of warlock forensic accountants investigate a fire god's untimely death by bankruptcy.
- I don’t think the Craft Sequence goes any bigger.
- Craft Sequence by Max Gladstone This is a fun one where power runs on souls we we follow people that work with contracts like lawyers, risk analysts, and priests.
- Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence - I can't recommend these enough. It's a really fun and interesting world, and there's only really romance in the second book. It's very diverse.
Cons
- Would Gladstone be a good fit for me if the focus on romance or past relationships was one of the reasons I dropped his Craft Sequence series?
- Craft Sequence - 6/10, DNF. Got four books in and kinda threw in the towel. ... Gladstone has amazing ideas about gods and their contractual obligations to their faithful ... Despite that, his execution consistently fell flat.

Craftsmen in Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence are basically lawyer-necromancers, and they actually do "normal" necromancy things instead of doing the whole "moral necromancers focus on destroying undead instead of creating them" thing
Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence both have highly developed necromancy; in thr latter case, whole economies are built on it
Some male authored books that I thought wrote women well - Craft Sequence by Max Gladstone
Check out the Craft Sequence (first book: Three Parts Dead), by Max Gladstone. Its magic is either necromantic or religious but is ultimately based on/structured like US corporate law, so there’s definitely some very clever fantasy econ going on in there.
Would Gladstone be a good fit for me if the focus on romance or past relationships was one of the reasons I dropped his Craft Sequence series?
