Gideon the Ninth - Wikipedia

This is the exciting, compelling, and totally enjoyable sci-fi series I've been missing since I was an adolescent ripping through Dune, Harry Potter, and Ender's Game. (ugh, what a problematic list!)

Necromancers in space? Queer characters with biting and ridiculous sarcasm? World building that unfolds in amazing twists? Pulse-pounding endings? Very yes. Very recommend.

Harrow the Ninth - Wikipedia

Just finished the second book in Tamsyn Muir's Locked Tomb series. It's terrific.

The twists pulled off in the second book still feel fresh, surprising, and yet totally connected with the material in the first. I'm hugely impressed with the plotting.

“Fear doesn't help us achieve a state of grace; it deafens the heart.” ― Tamsyn Muir, Nona the Ninth

Another outstanding book in this series. Love the cover illustration too. October 2023 for the fourth book, Alecto the Ninth? Looking forward to it.

“But when she was scared, she was a child again, and she was more scared of being a child again than anything else in her life.” — Tamsyn Muir, Harrow the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #2)

Just finished the second book in this series, loved it. Moving on to the third book.

I love the cover art by Tommy Arnold, so cool.

, the chaos author who owns my whole heart (and by "owns my heart" I mean she keeps it with a diced dozen other amputated organs in a greasy bait box) just pub'd a western post-sapphic horromance short novl. She ever "here kitty kittied" me, I'd run across rattlesnakes to lick cold human slurry from her gloved finger tips without a second's hesitation. Call me a ditsy fan-ghoul. Don't care. I'm way past feeling. She has my whole heart, din'tja ya read what I said?

Reading two books right now.

1 - Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?”

I’ll be reading this one for a while, they liked their novels long in the 1600s.

2 - Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

“I need you to trust me.”
“I need you to be trustworthy.”

Wasn’t sure about a necromancy book, but I really like it.

Basically, my wife, a voracious reader, has noticed that books has written blurbs for have been absolutely amazing, and she’d like to find more of them. It seems like this would be a useful way to search in general though. Anyone have any ideas?

Rereading Gideon the Ninth. Wow. Every tiny detail, every snarky remark, every sotto voce utterance has taken on new depths after the first read. Incredible.

Really really enjoying my second read-through of Nona The Ninth. The prose in this book is just endlessly delightful. I think I have a huge smile on my face the whole time I'm reading.

Nona having Pica is such a clever little character quirk. Reading through this time knowing what the resolution is, it just feels so clever.

Finally finished Harrow the Ninth yesterday, the second book in Tamsyn Muir's "Locked Tomb" series. I tremendously enjoyed it - highly distinct setting (necromancers, swordfighting, and queerness in space). The story is twisted, spiced up with puzzles and the occasional mystery. The writing is on point, deft, skilful, landing its punches.

Talked @lazesummerstone into listening to Gideon the Ninth (he's never read/heard, I've only read) and what a fantastic narration!

I don't listen to a lot of audiobooks (work requires composing work-words and my idle moments are composing book-words) but this is the best I've ever listened to. Amazing job by Moira Quirk, and getting through the book twice has me reeling as I understand new layers. Love Tamsyn Muir!

Okay... I've restarted the audiobook of Tamsyn Muir's Harrow the Ninth for a third time, having reached the end of Act One and remained thoroughly confused.

I'm told this is to be expected and it'll all make sense eventually, but I also don't feel I've taken enough in to make sense of it later. Maybe coming at it now, fresh after the holidays, a bit less burnt out, will allow my brain to take more of it in. Fingers crossed! 🤞

Nona the Ninth (2022) by Tamsyn Muir. So far, every entry in the Locked Tomb series came with a complete change in tone, so spending time with dorky easygoing Nona wasn't something I expected. This book doesn't focus on riddles just as much as its predecessors and kinda misses their clever enigmatic vibes, but it finally lets some side characters shine, which is extremely satisfying. Also, Muir's writing is just great.
