Tamsyn Muir's Gideon the Ninth is the first in a planned trilogy of horror-tinged SFF books, following a teenage dirtbag and butch sword lesbian as she is forced to team up with her bitterest enemy, a prissy goth teenage dirtbag and necromancer priestess, on a journey through space to a mysterious haunted palace full of yet more dirtbag teens. Shit gets real, hijinks and murder ensue, God gets involved. Etc. I strongly recommend, providing you can deal with a bajillion animated skeletons, several grisly deaths, and some genuinely gross necromantic tricks.

I was lucky enough to read an e-ARC at the very end of 2018. Now that it is a real live published book, I have reread, and thought I would record some bits and pieces that I found noteworthy, or missed the first time through. Seriously: very many spoilers.

( Part One: The Clues )
( Part Two: The Plot )
( Part Three: The World )

So yeah, I have some questions.
