It’s a particularly great reading experience if you’ve always considered yourself such a clever girl, because there is no way you’re going to understand what is going on half the time… and yet it’s still so compelling!įortunately, perseverance is rewarded. The Locked Tomb series is something that you just have to go with.
Three books later, I am literally on Tumblr scrolling fan posts and fanart to get my Gideon fix because the next book is not going to be out until at least January, sob! Sixty-five pages in, I looked up with frantic eyes and exclaimed “I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS BOOK WHY AM I SO OBSESSED OMG GIDEON IS MY FAVORITE PERSON EVER!!!!!!!” I started reading Gideon the Ninth, then immediately complained to my kid, “I don’t know what’s happening.”Ī chapter later, I noted, “I still don’t know what’s going on, and everything is gross.” I always act on her book recommendations, even if they don’t gel for me right away… as Gideon the Ninth did not. She reads like she won’t live through the day if she hasn’t mown through two fantasy novels, the latest issue of three comic book series, and at least one chapter of a boring non-fiction book about Mongolia. My college student (and, okay, Tiktok…) is my best source of books. Of course, some things are better left dead.Here’s how I’ve been disassociating from the real world this month! The Locked Tomb Series 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. Brought 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. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy.
Her characters leap off the page, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. Tamsyn Muir's Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. dirty magazines, and no more time for undead nonsense.
The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.
