Мир «Гидеон из Девятого дома» Тэмсин Мьюир — это вселенная звездолётов, далёких солнц, мастеров фехтования, жестокой политики и лесбиянок-некромантов.

Воспитанная недружелюбными, окостеневшими монахинями, древними слугами и бесчисленными скелетами, Гидеон готова предать традиции и отказаться от рабства и загробной жизни в качестве живого мертвеца. Она зачехляет свой меч и готовится к дерзкому побегу. Но у Немезиды для неё другие планы.

Харрохак Нонагесимус, Преподобная дочь Девятого дома и экстраординарная костяная ведьма, отправляется в бой. Император призвал наследников каждого из верноподданных Домов на смертельный поединок — испытание ума и мастерства. Если Харрохак преуспеет, она станет бессмертной всемогущей слугой Бога Воскрешения. Но ни один некромант не может выступить без своего рыцаря. Без рапиры Гидеон, Харроу потерпит неудачу и Девятый дом вымрет.

Безусловно, некоторые вещи лучше оставить мёртвыми.

Review of 'Gideon the Ninth' on 'Goodreads'

I didn't know what to expect from this after 2 years of this series being talked about among people whose taste tend to align with mine in kind of ambiguous ways. I knew people liked it but I also half anticipated it to be a gamble for me on the basis of all the "memes references" and "ow the edge" talk. Both, as it turns out, were way overblown (at least to me), and instead I found an incredibly entertaining sci-fantasy novel with great worldbuilding, a clever magic system, a memorable cast, some really alluring lore, a core plot that reminded me of the Zero Escape video game series (which is a good thing), and a unique, refreshing author voice. Halfway through the 80 percents I realized I was in what I can only (unfortunately) describe as a Brandon Sanderson-style rollercoaster of a last act (I'm told Gene Wolfe once …

Review of 'Gideon the Ninth' on 'Goodreads'

4.25 Takes a while to get into and you should be okay with lots of gore, lymph, fat and of course bone (and boning jokes). There are a tad too many characters for my taste, but the main ones are very well-developed. The world-building is good, but sparse. It's really structured around being the first volume of a tetralogy. Gideon might not be the most relatable protagonist with her weird upbringing, but her wisecracks are generally not annoying and the conceit for making her shut up for the middle part of the book is quite nice.

In general, it's great to see some lesbian respresentation that doesn't drift much into the physical. The way the characters feel about each other actually does make sense for the horrible death-universe they grow up in. It's probably not for those just looking for a more upbeat read, but it's also not quite as …

Review of 'Gideon the Ninth' on 'Goodreads'

Update: it's unusual for me to reread anything these days, especially only after a year, but in the wake of Harrow it seemed like the obvious thing to do. Second time round there are less surprises, but instead you get to appreciate how well they are set up and foreshadowed. The duels still stand out, capturing the intensity of combat, and the last third of the book is almost impossible too so reading (not including the substantial back matter that helps flesh out the world, which is missing from Harrow come to think of it). If you're looking for a Halloween read, this should be it as is hard to think of a box it doesn't tick: bones, witches, ghosts, monsters, costumes, face paint, prizes for showing off, childhood trauma and dad jokes.

This book seems to have been built from the parts of so many great things that is …

Review of 'Gideon the Ninth' on 'Goodreads'

Oh Undying King, Prime Necromancer, what an absolute gift this book is! I read a lot, and this is easily one of my favourite books of the past few years, and I bought the sequel before I had even finished this one. I'm thrilled that it's a part of a series, that I get to follow this tale even farther, and I can't imagine anything stopping me from recommending this book far and wide. Love it! In fact, it could cause me to downrate certain other five star books to four, simply since the ceiling has been raised so much!

reviewed Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (The Locked Tomb, #1)

Joss Whedon has doomed us all

Book's okay, with a plot that chugs along and some fun character design and costuming, but it's just so in love with its own voice. Narrator and descriptive text are both arch, clever, "cussy!", and devoid of anything human. As review title suggests, we have yet to escape Buffy.

reviewed Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (The Locked Tomb, #1)

A love-it-or-hate-it proposition

Count me as one of the people who really can't stand the author's extremely strong authorial voice. Sometimes it was genuinely funny and I loved it but it was SO omnipresent and overbearing that eventually it felt like I was being told a pretty interesting scifi/fantasy story by someone who desperately needs me to find them hilarious.

I love the world it's set in, I love the whole goth cultists in space thing. I don't like the protagonist and I don't like that most of the characters are emotionally confused teenagers. It feels like I was tricked into reading a mislabeled YA novel. And like, YA is fine, but I like to know what I'm getting into ahead of time?

I think that if your sense of humor aligns with the author you might love this novel! But if you don't, you might hate it.

Review of 'Gideon the Ninth' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

I can’t even begin to rate this book. There’s a lot to like. Gideon has a unique, very entertaining voice. The magic is all very cool. The interplay of characters is complex and intricate. But I am so confused. Lol. I will say that if an adaptation were ever made (for some reason i think an anime-style thing would work really well) I would totally watch it. At the moment, though, I’m really on the fence about whether I want to continue with the series, and I can’t quite put my finger on why I’m so reluctant.

Review of 'Gideon the Ninth' on 'Goodreads'

Wow.

Just... wow.

This was a hell of a fun ride. I love stories which just throw you into the world, and expect you to figure it out as the story goes along. That is, as long as the author can give you enough clues and description and character development to show you the world she's building.

And Tamsyn Muir is more than capable of doing just that. She is a wonderful writer, and I would read anything else she chooses to write, no matter the genre or material. Hell, even the Acknowledgements at the end of the book were entertaining.

I won't give the plot away, except to say that this is a great twist on the traditional swords-and-sorcery fantasy genre, with a bit of a sci-fi element. Her characters are modern and smart and three-dimensional. The dialogue is crisp and funny and sometimes poignant and always moving …
