We were so fascinated by Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth a few months ago, you know we had to come back! February’s book is Muir’s sequel Harrow the Ninth. I’ve heard this book is very, very different from its predecessor and I’m excited to find out exactly how!
Here’s the summary:
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?
The live-streamed discussion of Harrow the Ninth will occur Friday, February 25th at 9:30 PM Central Time over on our YouTube page.
