Summary

Harrow the Ninth, the sequel to the sensational, USA Today best-selling novel Gideon the Ninth, turns a galaxy inside out as one necromancer struggles to survive the wreckage of herself aboard the emperor's haunted space station.

She answered the emperor's call.

She arrived with her arts, her wits, and her only friend.

In victory, her world has turned to ash.

After rocking the cosmos with her deathly debut, Tamsyn Muir continues the story of the penumbral Ninth House in Harrow the Ninth, a mind-twisting puzzle box of mystery, murder, magic, and mayhem. Nothing is as it seems in the halls of the emperor, and the fate of the galaxy rests on one woman's shoulders.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, last necromancer of the Ninth House, has been drafted by her emperor to fight an unwinnable war. Side-by-side with a detested rival, Harrow must perfect her skills and become an angel of undeath - but her health is failing, her sword makes her nauseous, and even her mind is threatening to betray her.

Sealed in the Gothic gloom of the emperor's Mithraeum with three unfriendly teachers, hunted by the mad ghost of a murdered planet, Harrow must confront two unwelcome questions: Is somebody trying to kill her? And if they succeeded, would the universe be better off?

Absolute irreverent f**king genius

What’s the audiobook equivalent of ‘I couldn’t put it down’? I couldn’t press pause? Well, whatever it is: that. The narration is so completely excellent - each character with their own distinct voice that brought them to life (or death, or resurrection). Massive round of applause to Moira Quirk. And when I got to a moment that referenced a 12 year old meme so perfectly and so utterly out of nowhere, I had to stop the book and marvel at the pure comic genius. Tamsyn Muir, you absolutely rock.

The B plot while I admit does payoff was incredibly frustrating to get through for me.
It felt pointless

What Is Going On?

If you’ve not heard the fist book DO NOT under any circumstances attempt this. If you have heard the first book and thought it was only ok, DO NOT under any circumstances attempt this. Everybody else just jump in and prepared to be confused. I have no idea what is going on and I love it.

Beautifully yet dark

The story is highly captivating with a unproductive narrative. A brilliant performance with every character with a constant distinct voice that's is extremely well acted. I highly recommend this book

Didn’t want it to end!

I thought that literally nothing could improve on Gideon the Ninth, but I was so pleasantly surprised by how this book expands the universe and gives us such insight into characters who, in the first novel, we might not have expected to make such brilliant protagonists. I was on tenterhooks the entire time (I cannot explain the stress I was under throughout). The only word for what Muir does is MASTERFUL - the unraveling of the complicated plot structure as the book goes on is just genius. What will I do now? What is life after this book?

Love it it took me a while to understand it but about 1/4 of the way in it all clicked and I loved it

I did have to talk it back a lot in the first 1/4 as I thought I hadn’t paid attention but it turns out that is who the book is written and that folds really nicely into the plot. Loved it if you have ready book one then stick with this it’s great.
