Über diesen Titel
The Emperor needs necromancers.
The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.
Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead nonsense.
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy.
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.

Kritikerstimmen
"Tamsyn Muir's absorbing storytelling and Moira Quirk's immersive performance create a richly imagined fantasy world.... Quirk is at turns antagonistic, vulnerable, and hopelessly helpful as she characterizes all the participants and stewards of Canaan House.... Listeners will eagerly anticipate the trilogy's next installment." (AudioFile Magazine)
Mixed with Gothic horror, murder mystery,
and YA lesbian paranormal romance.
Told from the perspective of the slightly dim sidekick fighter who just wants to hit things with her sword.
And it is all glorious even if some of those elements aren't your cup of tea on their own.
Only downside is that the huge gallary of characters are slightly hard to keep track of in an audiobook format, and reading the character overview in the beginning of the book aloud isn't helpful and is a terrible start for an audiobook, hence -1 on total score.
Fascinating story

Habe die Geschichte zu Ende gehört, aber irgendwie bin ich nicht so richtig rein gekommen und es hat mich nie so wirklich gepackt, ist immer im Hintergrund geblieben egal wie actionreich die Szene gerade war.

The story takes place in space, there are 9 spacestations/planets and on 8 live the houses of necromancers. Gideon hates her house, despises it and the leading and only necromancer of the house, Harrow. But to get of the planet she agrees to be Harrows bodyguard for a trip to the first house.
Arriving there they find themselves in an ancient castle with a few priests of the first house and the heirs and fighters of the other 8 houses. And the riddle starts. The all are competing against each other or ally with each other. Some die mysteriously and they have to wonder if the price is worth dying for and if they are as alone as they thought or if someone is interfering.
It's really hard to keep track about who ist who because of the many names, but this gets better with time. The necromancers have all different specifications and it's amazing but sometimes also gross when it's about bones, corpses, spitting out blood, vomiting ash - you get what I mean.
This book has an amazing narrator, necromancers, swordfights, hard feelings, mystery, saphic love, enemies to something and it was beautiful and I'm heartbroken.
I will try hard to finish the trilogy in time because audible will not have it for free any longer.
Gideon hit me hard! I fell in love
