Everyone: Omg there’s magic... AND SPACE?!?! Genre bending!!! ...Did everyone forget about Star Wars??
A fun romp through a haunted house on a dying planet - with bonus skeletons!
I had a feel small quibbles:
- Sometimes it was hard to keep track of everyone given the way names and titles were used interchangeably
- The persistent use of ‘ass’ and ‘butt’ felt out of step with the mood of the book.
- Strange use of ‘emasculate’ more than once in relatively close proximity.
Overall though, I thought this was eminently readable and pleasantly different. I don’t know if I’m sufficiently engaged to read the rest of the series, but I had a good time regardless.

I had a hard time visualizing what was going on. Gideon saved it for me, though.
There’s not much else to say about this that I haven’t said before. I adore these books so much. They’ve quickly become all time favorites and comfort reads. I love seeing all the little breadcrumbs leading you to reveals in the next books. I will keep reading these forever and will patiently, and not so patiently, wait for Alecto.

I would like to thank and yell at my friend Elise because she recommend these books and I love them so much and am a little bit obsessed now and can’t stop thinking about them. This book really is amazing. I loved seeing all the things I missed and that are hints at things to come. I’m sure I’m still missing so much.
(Used the audiobook along with the ebook this time. Moira Quirk is very good but not always what I imagined voices to be, so that’s interesting.)

Sometimes you need to read out of your comfort zone, and if you’re lucky it’s good. Holy cow this was so good. I loved Gideon and her drive. Harrow was awful and annoying and amazing. Most of the other necromancers and their cavaliers were really interesting - some blended together a bit for me though. The whole idea is just so amazing, I kept thinking “how did someone think of this?!” I am so excited to continue the series!

I just finished a reread of Gideon the Ninth and I loved it as much as I did the first time. Gideon and Harrow are so delightfully complex. The story line has so many twists and turns, it was gripping even as a re-read. Now on to Harrow the Ninth!
