Story
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.

Story
When the witch built the 40-flight tower, she made very sure to do the whole thing properly. Each flight contains a dreadful monster, ranging from a diamond-scaled dragon to a pack of slavering goblins. Should a prince battle his way to the top, he will be rewarded with a golden sword - and the lovely Princess Floralinda. But no prince has managed to conquer the first flight yet, let alone get to the 40th. In fact, the supply of fresh princes seems to have quite dried up.

Story
I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life. Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place.

Now, Mahit must discover who is behind the murder, rescue herself, and save her station from Teixcalaan's unceasing expansion.

When Rin aced the Keju - the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies - it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who believed they’d finally be able to marry her off and further their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free of the servitude and despair that had made up her daily existence. That she got into Sinegard - the most elite military school in Nikan - was even more surprising.

Publisher's 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?

Clever and unexpected! I thought I knew what was happening, but I really didn't. Phew. What a wild ride. This book took some fun risks that really paid off. Definitely some fun, weird, experimental parts. Moira Quirk's narration was awesome. She made some really fun choices that showed who people were just from their intonation.

Lost memory and more problems
This book has problems. It's not a straightforward as the first book in the series. The author has tried using flashbacks and I'm not convinced it worked. Of course that wasn't helped by my device skipping chapters for no reason but even when I got things in the correct order things weren't that much clearer. There is a lot of dialogue in this book that seems to be too long at times. I enjoyed the first book more. This is the second book in the trilogy and sometimes these books serve as a transition in the story.

A lot of struggle for a decent pay off
While by the end I'm not entirely disappointed or overjoyed by this I admit the writing has a few issues, mostly the first half or so when Harrow isn't quite there. The second half is wonderful besides a few jokes /punchlines that made me physically recoil at the audacity of this lich

Best Book of 2020
After the masterpiece that is Gideon the Ninth, I didn't think a second book could compare. But this book blows the first out of the water. The complexity of the second relies on your knowledge of the first for you to pick out the nuances, the subtle and not-so-subtle details of things that are Not Right. The second-person style of this book brings into brilliant relief Harrow's disassociation with the events at the end of the last book. It emphasizes her grief, her struggles, and really brings her humanity to the forefront. Her denial, her hallucinations, the reactions of the people around her raise questions, theories, and twists at every turn. When they all started to reveal themselves in the end, I got tingles. This book is easily the best I'll read all year and Moira Quirk's narration is simply impeccable.

Who needs Ambien when I've got a book like this?
While I enjoyed Gideon, this sequel centered around an amnesiac Harrow is incredibly difficult to drudge through. I found myself having to go back because I would get bored and stop paying attention, or fall asleep and wake up chapters later. I could go on and on but it wouldn't be worth writing it all down. Just know this novel isnt nearly the same quality as its predecessor. Only make this purchase if you're okay with a weaker story and significantly weaker writing.

Twisted, Challenging, Luscious and Devious
This one isn't for the listeners who want an easy, relaxing story to half pay attention to while they clean or mow the lawn. This book demands your full attention. If you are like me and hate reading books in the second person, don't let that deter you here. This may be the first time I have ever seen that perspective used so well. Harrow is not Gideon, and this book is not the first book. Prepare to feel your brain hurt and to question your own senses and understanding of past, present, and future events, just as Harrow feels her own sanity slip away throughout the story. If this also makes you hesitate to read this book, then let me reassure you that it contains all the wit, the jokes, the absurd and the wildly entertaining action of the first book. Don't miss this one. The narrator performs the same excellent performance as the first, really hitting some complex nuances of dialog and carrying the thick, sometimes almost too luscious descriptions of this crazy world the author has created. 5/5 across the board!

Brilliant in a completely different way than 1st
Never read a sequel less like the original. I'm short on time, but for now suffice it to say that I loved it. It ties up more loose ends from Gideon than I realized were left to be pulled, and I only have the vaguest of ideas of where the next book will go.

More Gideon, less everything else
I spent the whole book waiting for Gideon to reappear. finally she did, and there were some parts that reminded me of why I lasted through this second book. The first book was so good that I was sure this would come together in the end. unfortunately, it did not. it was a bit like Dead Astronauts meets Gideon the Ninth, with all of the confusing parts of the former, and not enough of the snark of the latter.

I hate this book
I bought the actual book first. but it just sounded like gibberish, so i also bought the audiobook. I was thinking maybe that way I could get around the way this is written better, that is not the case. I have a headache and at chapter four I want to give up. I loved the first book so much I gifted one to a friend of mine, but it was much easier to read then this second book. I'm so dissapointed.

This book is so good! On track to be my favorite of 2020 (no surprise there—Gideon took 2019). More space and less horror than the first, and with a mass of psychological thrills! UGH!!! Beautiful, wonderful, thought-provoking. Sooo good. Ready for the third.

What a mess
The first book was really good. This was not. The first 3/4 of the book is like being in the mind of a drunk schizophrenic dementia patient. I'm pretty sure this was deliberate but its a miserable experience for the reader/listener. The last part of the book explains the first and isnt bad but doesn't make up for the unenjoyable time spent on the first 3/4 or so.

I couldn't love the Locked Tomb series more if I tried coz I'm pretty sure something would combust. I'm so glad that Moira Quirk is the one performing these books because she's absolutely perfect! A goddess among narrators! This is my second time through, and it certainly won't be the last!
