![]() Gideon must help Harrowhark survive a deadly competition of brains and brawn with the other House leaders, a trial sanctioned by the ruling Emperor. If Gideon wants her freedom, she’ll need to help Harrowhark one last time and this final favor is no small feat. Unfortunately, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House, Harrowhark Nonagesimus, has been onto her plan for the past week. Gideon is now ready to blow this popsicle stand for a life of freedom. And because the full title of the House is unwieldy, it’ll hereby be referred to as the Ninth or Ninth House. She was discovered next to her dead mother when she was just a day old. Gideon Nav has been an indentured servant to the Ninth, the House of the Sewn Tongue, the Anchorite’s House, the House of Heretical Secrets, for the past eighteen years. ![]() ![]() All of this leads to a very tough situation: will a book I’ve been anticipating (and many others, too) will live up to its hype. Gideon the Ninth has been parsed into four words that gave me instant grabby hands: “Lesbian necromancers in space.” It was one of my most coveted books to try and snag at BEA, and I preordered it because my goth-loving heart was swayed by the black-stained edges of its first printing. ![]()
