À propos de cet audio

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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"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)

Fantastic narration of a fantastic story! I haven't had a book grab me like this in years, and now I'm enthralled in this series. I couldnt stop listening. I'm very picky about narrators - this one is perfect. despite an enormous cast of characters, she manages to make each one unique and recognizable from one another. She delivers Gideon's sass with perfection.

goths, gays, and space. whats not to love?

Strength:
I really like the dynamic among female characters. There are less male-gazed description on female characters' appearance.

Downsides:
If there were many more female than male characters, it would be much outstanding.
This book would be perfect if the teacher, god, and emperor were all females. I don't understand why the god and emperor are still male in female writer's work.

I'm obsessed with this book and Moira Quirk's reading of it. Absolutely perfect, no notes. 10/10 just read it.

AMAZING

Amazing, confusing, but so worth it!! I’ve seen this book described as “lesbian necromancers in space” and “if Wednesday Adams wrote a sci fi/fantasy book”. It is that and so much more. I can’t explain anything because it can’t be explained! This was so unique and fascinating. Loved it. Narrator was also fantastic.

Wow!

Performance? Phenomenal — I love the voice actor, they kept me immersed.

Story? I had to have my hard copy of the book to reference the character breakdown nearby when I listened as there are many characters on the page often referred to in indirect ways or through multiple names — even on a re-read it can be occasionally hard to follow.

Overall? A fun concept that focuses more on the politics and relationship building of our characters, and keeps the ‘smut’ out of it. Well written and worth the read.

Space & Necromancers — A Good Time

I chose this book purely on having seen the opening line quoted somewhere, and I had no idea what it was even really about. And it was so goddamn funny and enjoyable, great ride, and I will need to find a way to work "Lo! A destructed ass!" into conversations somehow. My favourite thing is how the descriptions in the book are very effectively vivid--also unusually funny and sarcastic as well. I laughed often. The ending was also extremely satisfying.

The very singular bad thing is that as I write the review only the first two books are out, and I'll have to wait on the third.

Friggin' brilliant

Mysteriois and varied characters. Complex and sometimes provocative relationship with satisfying character development. Interesting and potentially massive world. Perfect for making you autobuy the next book.

The book may be more enjoyable if the author put down the thesaurus and painted pictures with heart, rather than flexing her vocabulary.

Intriguing, captivating, wonderful.

Never have I heard such a great match between narrator and book. Really enjoyed every single character she performed.
