Fantasy & SciFi
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 off the page, 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.

Rolig och spännande sci-fi/ fantasy! Med nytänkande världsbyggande och mord så fett räcker och blir över

Riktigt bra bok och riktigt bra uppläsare. Lite svår att följa med i som ljudbok dock, hade hellre läst en fysisk kopia inser jag nu!

Ok handling och intrig. Lite rörigt skriven med för mycket kryptiska kommentarer som blir tröttsamt i längden. De flesta karaktärer var rätt ytliga och/eller överdrivna. Setting ska vara kuslig ödesmättad fantasy på en fjärran planet med en massa nekromantiker, men det känns mer som en slags Harry Potter fast med vuxna. Inte trovärdigt. Rätt ointressant på det hela taget.

A very creative effort that is very much it’s own. The story slowly unfolds and it took me some time to understand some of where it was going. As it does the book becomes more and more captivating. A bit higher tempo would have been nice, but all in all an exciting listen. The dialogue between Harrow and Gideon is brilliant. The scene is set for a thrilling sequel.

Välskriven med bra dialog.Lite för stökigt med en mängd namn på samma karaktärer.
