The Emperor needs necromancers. The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman. Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit. Tamsyn Muir's Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap off the page, 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. The emperor has called his necromancers to action, and Harrowhark is set on Gideon attending her as bodyguard. If Gideon survives, she'll be a hero, and a free woman. If not, she can look forward to eternity as a shambling bone-servant.

A very entertaining little novel that focuses on a mystery whodunit with quite a bit of action. The worldbuilding was great and sparked my interest immediately. The characters were enjoyable, even if a bit obnoxious at times, with quite a few personalities among them. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was the fact that the first half just dragged quite a bit. I found it hard to keep interest and the setting in almost every scene was very repetitive. The second half very much helped bring it all back together for me though, with a very descriptive and exciting ending. I definitely plan on rereading it at some point.

I couldn�t get into this book. It was hard to follow and read. I would not recommend this book. I honestly couldn�t even tell you what that book was about.
