  • Gideon The Ninth

    Harrow The Ninth

    Nona The Ninth

    All by Tamsyn Muir.

    This series is scifi fantasy. It’s about necromancers in an ancient religion that spans a planetary system, and some very dramatic lesbians.

    The books are each from a different characters view point and you get to piece everything together through their eyes as you go. This results in puzzles nested within puzzles and lore so deep, it’s going to be mined for fanfic till our world ends.

    Book 1 is the easiest to read and a lot of fun as it unfolds and even more fun to reread once you’ve finished book 3. Also the battle scene in book 1 is probably the best battle scene I’ve ever read for how clearly all the chaos and carnage is depicted.

    Books 2 and 3 will confuse the fuck out of you but you will eventually start to figure out what’s actually going on, and when the dots start connecting they will feed into speculation and obsession, everything means something else and deciphering the narrative subtext is addictive.

    Every reread of the series is so much fun as once you have an idea of what’s going on, words will rearrange themselves in your head as you pass them on the page and suddenly there’s a joke, or a bit of lore or something that clicks into place and makes sense in the most blindingly obvious way.

    The 4th book Alecto The Ninth, is due to release soon, hopefully. Please.
