Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

4.0

... I have no idea what I just read and I love it!

Gideon Nav - orphan, swordswoman, bane of the Ninth House - has planned, and failed, several escapes from the dreary house of death she lives in. Harrowhark Nonagesimus - bone with and heir of the Ninth - has made it her personal mission to terrorize Gideon. When a summons comes from Emperor, Harrow enlists Gideon's sword in the cause. Only neither woman realizes just how much trouble they are in, and just how close they need to be. Afterall, there are worse things than death.
