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?

I can't thank you enough, Tamsyn, for an insanely brilliant piece of work. The intentionally confusing style, subject and complex narrative has forced me to read the series at least twice; the fact I took the time to do that is a testament to your brilliance. I am hooked and eagerly await the conclusion.

I would also like to thank Moira for the passion that went into the narration. With a wide range of voices, it was easy to tell who was speaking and the mood they were in at the time. Inclination and cheekiness helped immensely with the engagement.

insanely brilliant

Good for people who enjoy wild flights of imagination, theoretical gymnastics, conspiracies and gore. The plot is really confusing for most of the book and does drag in places, you have to let go and roll with it. Enjoy the mental exercise. By the end it will be mostly explained and made worthwhile. The characters are almost all raging ar**holes with no redeming features. But...there is beautiful heart and revelation at the close. Have courage.

Enjoyable but mixed

Twists turns an intrigue, there are parts of the story that ramble a bit but the performance from the narrator raises the piece as a whole.

Not what I’d normally read but brilliant

This is a great book, but it’s absolutely baffling for the majority because, and this really is the strength of the author, there is a lot not being explained and being set up. But then once all the pieces in place, it flies along at breakneck speed and blows your mind.

Really really good, but very different to the first book

The humour, wit, mystery and the characters dialogue i loved them all. Looking forward to the next story

The character that the lady reading this out gave to all the different characters
