Gideon the Ninth

If you are looking for a book written from a Sapphic POV, with real, diverse, and relatable characters, necromancy, and swordplay, this is the book for you! It is science fiction written like fantasy, with an interesting magic system, and notes of mystery. Gideon is a funny, imperfect, and lovable protagonist who introduces you to the wold of The Locked Tomb with lots of gay panic and bad puns. And her love-hate relationship with the other central character, Harrow, is engaging with plenty of chemistry. Moira Quirk does an incredible job bringing the characters to life, using a range of affects and accents that make each character feel unique and real.

average story-telling

Great book, and the narrator sure does a good job!

An absolutely intriguing story with a delightful narration

I really enjoyed it! The plot felt a little slow to start, but the mystery was great!

Book was terrible and boring. Kept waiting for the pay off and it never came. 3/4 through the boom I was wondering why I wasn’t invested in the book yet and I realised that not one character was likeable. They were all annoying and had no redeeming qualities. Couldn’t connect to the story. The narrator was good but the narration hammered home just how annoying the characters were.

I enjoyed the story a lot, and the narration really brought it to life!

This is by far my favorite book ever, and one of the main reasons I'm still here. go loud

wlw necromancers in space. very good, a bit gorey so be aware if that's an issue for you. absolutely fantastic characters, great mysteries in the plot. very excited to read the next one!

Cool story, great narration.

Surprisingly engaging and lively for a story about necromancy. Gideon wins you over almost immediately.

Fabulous series

Where have pissy butch characters been all my life??

I liked the book. Some parts were a little slow and the main plot was pretty predictable, but still enjoyable.

Well written and a lot of fun. I can't wait to start the second book.

I love Moira Quirk as a narrator, and I generally enjoyed this book. I had some trouble following the plot, but it may make sense after I listen to it again.

this book was excellent. i wasnt sure at first but the naration is perfect and Gideon is now one of my favorite characters ive had the pleasure of knowing through this mystery/dark/descriptive all around good time of a book.

Weird and sad and hilarious.
