Title: Gideon the Ninth.
Author: Tamsyn Muir.
Genre: Adult, Fantasy, Science-fiction.
Release date: September 10th 2019.
Summary:
Gideon the Ninth is the most fun
you’ll ever have with a skeleton.
The Emperor needs necromancers.
The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.
Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no
more time for undead bullshit.
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils
a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her
characters leap off the page, as skillfully animated as necromantic skeletons.
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.
Why I’m excited:
I mean doesn’t this sound amazing! Also I’ve heard so many amazing things about this book! And I’m looking forward to a good adult fantasy! Because I really need to read more of those!

Yeees. This is a great book to be writing for. I’ve got an ARC, and I refuse to read it too early because then I can’t scream about it with other people. But I’m expecting to love this. I mean, what’s not to love?! This is probably my second most anticipated read for the end of this year, and I’m really hoping it lives up to my expectations. xD
Ooh I’m jealous! And yes this book sounds perfect!
What’s your most anticipated release??
I really do like the look and the description for this one.Lynn 😀
Yess!
