I was consistently pleased by twists and turns in the story, as stakes rose ever higher and the mystery unfolded, and really enjoyed when people would explain whatever crazy thing just happened so I could truly understand and appreciate how crazy it was it was so conversational that it never felt condescending or halted momentum. Her and Harrow's relationship is so messy and complicated and I love that it only got more complicated as they had to work together and grew as characters. Gideon is a wonderfully relatable character while also being a total badass. This book felt like an old friend telling me a story around a campfire, with me clinging to every gritty detail, deepening mystery, and snappy comeback. Of course, some things are better left dead. Without Gideon’s sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. If Harrowhark succeeds she will be become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. But her childhood nemesis won’t set her free without a service. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy.īrought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead nonsense. The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.
