Note: this does not even begin to cover all the things I wanted to say about this book, but it does cover some of my main ideas. So I went with the inspiration and decided to talk about some of the things I was thinking while I read this book. Also the book I waited over two months for since apparently no one at my library can read fast… What gives? Anyways, I feel like I should let you all know I had a planned a perfectly decent blog post for this week but this book has literally taken over all my thoughts lately. Gideon the Ninth, one of my most anticipated books of the year. Of course, some things are better left dead. Without Gideon’s sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. If Harrowhark succeeds she will become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. But her childhood nemesis won’t set her free without a service. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. Summary: 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.
