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.

An incredibly captivating read for sci-fi fans who long for more LGBTQIA+ representation
Gideon wants nothing more than to escape from a planet that never felt like a real home to her - except, during her most recent escape attempt, she is caught and convinced to join her beloathed necromancer Harrow for a set of trials that will make Harrow immortal. But at Canaan House, where the trials are to take place, nothing is quite as it seems, and with the contestants' lives at stake, Gideon and Harrow are forced to work together to uncover secrets that are greater than anything they were prepared for. With Gideon's snarky attitude, her dirty humor and her sometimes surprisingly relatable trains of thought, this story is immensely fun to follow along. As there are a lot of characters, it might be difficult to follow along at first, but once you get into it, it becomes incredibly hard to put it down. With all the secrets and unexpected connections between characters that get unraveled over time, this is one of those books that truly shines most on the second read: When you already know what to expect, and you really begin noticing all the little details from the beginning that hint at the grand revelations happening later in the book. Plot twists are en-masse in this book, and it will keep you on your toes until you finally get to the end - and then, the book hangover really hits hard. -

"I am your creature, gloom mistress."
Gideon will nichts lieber, als aus dem Neunten Haus zu entkommen. Doch bei ihrem neuesten Fluchtversuch wird sie von Harrow, der Erbin dieses Hauses erwischt und prompt dazu verdammt ihr in einem Wettkampf der neun Häuser als Schwertmeisterin zu dienen. Der erste Teil der Locked-Tomb-Reihe von Tamsyn Muir ist eine Science-Fantasy Geschichte voller Schwertkämpfer, Totenbeschwörer, einem geheimnissvollen Haus und schmutzigem Humor. Den Überblick über die Häuser und Charaktere zu behalten ist am Anfang recht schwer, doch mit der Zeit wachsen sie einem ans Herz. Eine unglaublich gute LGBTQ+/Sci-Fi Story! -

Logic come out, you're surrounded.
You think you know where this book is going? Wrong! You might do so but even the characters don't know what's going on. Hail to the Ninth House with their mini goth queen and her badass, sarcastic, lesbian beefcake chavalier (who's just great but a absolute unreliable narrator). Love it! -
