Narrated by Moira Quirk.
Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service. Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will be become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. Of course, some things are better left dead.

One of my New Favorite books submitted by a0710 on July 25, 2021, 7:19pm Can a book be both sci-fi and fantasy? Can a woman be both a necromancer and a lesbian? Can you be a silent nun and make thats-what-she said jokes? All are essential questions answered by this fantastic book. It made me laugh, and cry in equal measure, and had intricate world-building to match George R. R. Martin. I will be reading this book again, and I nearly began to reread it directly after I finished it. I cannot recommend this book enough. If you like humor, romance, and don't mind some gore to go with it Gideon the Ninth is the book for you.
