Description
The Emperor needs necromancers.
The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.
Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead nonsense.
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy.
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. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won’t set her free without a service.
Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will be become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon’s sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die.
Of course, some things are better left dead.

Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandment finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading. Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future. Except the discovery of their bond would mean the death of each of them. There’s still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win. That’s how war works, right?

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 30
Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms – but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation is starting to question the Priory's purpose. To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin. Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow – exactly where she wants to be. The dragons of the East have slept for centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to wake the gods from their long slumber.

Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv, the orc barbarian, cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen. However, her dreams of a fresh start filling mugs instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune’s shady underbelly may just upset her plans. To finally build something that will last, Viv will need some new partners, and a different kind of resolve.

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 5
A fresh-faced newcomer arrives in an isolated, gang-run town and soon finds herself taking a job nobody else wants: bodyguard to a ghoul. Not just your average mindless, half-rotted shuffler, though. Lucille is a dancer who can still put on her own lipstick and whose shows are half burlesque, half gladiator match. But the stranger is no stranger to this particular ghoul. Both women are undercover in their own way. And both have something to lose if their connection comes to light.

The boys of Huaxia dream of pairing up with girls to pilot Chrysalises, giant transforming robots that can battle the mecha aliens that lurk beyond the Great Wall. It doesn't matter that the girls often die from the mental strain. When 18-year-old Zetian offers herself up as a concubine-pilot, it's to assassinate the ace male pilot responsible for her sister's death. But she gets her vengeance in a way nobody expected - she kills him through the psychic link between pilots and emerges from the cockpit unscathed. She is labeled an Iron Widow.

In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid—a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.”

I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life. Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts; I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, making myself the dark queen of the world.

The fate of nothingness received by the family’s clever and capable second daughter, on the other hand, is only as expected.

But her sister wasn’t so fortunate—and after years of silence, Marra is done watching her suffer at the hands of a powerful and abusive prince. Seeking help for her rescue mission, Marra is offered the tools she needs, but only if she can complete three seemingly impossible tasks:

But now, her company has been sent back to her homeland to stop a rebellion, and the ties of blood may be stronger than she thought. Luca needs a turncoat. Someone desperate enough to tiptoe the bayonet's edge between treason and orders. Someone who can sway the rebels toward peace, while Luca focuses on what really matters: getting her uncle off her throne.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Tamsyn Muir's absorbing storytelling and Moira Quirk's immersive performance create a richly imagined fantasy world.... Quirk is at turns antagonistic, vulnerable, and hopelessly helpful as she characterizes all the participants and stewards of Canaan House.... Listeners will eagerly anticipate the trilogy's next installment." (AudioFile Magazine)

goths, gays, and space. whats not to love?
Fantastic narration of a fantastic story! I haven't had a book grab me like this in years, and now I'm enthralled in this series. I couldnt stop listening. I'm very picky about narrators - this one is perfect. despite an enormous cast of characters, she manages to make each one unique and recognizable from one another. She delivers Gideon's sass with perfection.

Comments
Strength:
I really like the dynamic among female characters. There are less male-gazed description on female characters' appearance.
Downsides:
If there were many more female than male characters, it would be much outstanding.
This book would be perfect if the teacher, god, and emperor were all females. I don't understand why the god and emperor are still male in female writer's work.

Wow!
Amazing, confusing, but so worth it!! I’ve seen this book described as “lesbian necromancers in space” and “if Wednesday Adams wrote a sci fi/fantasy book”. It is that and so much more. I can’t explain anything because it can’t be explained! This was so unique and fascinating. Loved it. Narrator was also fantastic.

Space & Necromancers — A Good Time
Performance? Phenomenal — I love the voice actor, they kept me immersed.
Story? I had to have my hard copy of the book to reference the character breakdown nearby when I listened as there are many characters on the page often referred to in indirect ways or through multiple names — even on a re-read it can be occasionally hard to follow.
Overall? A fun concept that focuses more on the politics and relationship building of our characters, and keeps the ‘smut’ out of it. Well written and worth the read.

Hot grimdark fantasy!
Heads up going in for anyone who isn't familiar with Grimdark style Science Fantasy - there's liberal use of trope and a terribly unrealistic scale to everything in these sorts of works. It's part of the charm, but it's not for everyone. Its very broody, the characters are all a little excessive in one facet or another, the protagonists hero's journey can feel jarring at times.
But it's really fun! Let the horror of this world sink in as you uncover it; enjoy the coming of age ride as this hot, queer, spiteful protagonist navigates a peer group for the first time; remind yourself that these characters would be akin to the draft year athletes that will go on to become household names someday when they show off their prowess and talents.
Grimdark can be hot and fun too - if you want it to be.

Gideon the Ninth was the most fun I’ve had with an audiobook to date. I enjoyed the writing so much I’m buying the paperback ASAP so I can read through it and savour the language. Muir’s writing is simply dripping with personality and the irreverent humour of Gideon had me laughing many times while listening. Fantastic.

I absolutely loved this book!! the characters, the dialogue, the plot, the world, everything was fantastic and kept me wanting more! The narrator also did an excellent job and I loved that all the characters had their own voices that both suited them and that I could tell apart. I definitely reccomend!

Great Read
What I appreciate about this book is that the story is the focus. It’s not some cushy teen romance story where girl meets girl and nothing else matters. The story is the focus and stays the focus. And the story is great! Twists and turns, lots of mystery and puzzles. Loved it!
