In Gideon the Ninth, redheaded, aviator-wearing, sick of your shit Gideon is our point of view character, and reader, everyone loves her. Unfortunately, Harrow drags her along to this contest as her Cavalier, and that is where the puzzle mystery ensues. In Gideon the Ninth, Harrow is the Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House, skilled in bone-based necromancy, invited to participate in a contest to try to join their God-Emperor’s special cohort as a “Lyctor.” Gideon is her contemporary, an uncannily gifted swordswoman who just wants to read her dirty magazines and run away to join the military, where hopefully, she’ll be appreciated. Gideon the Ninth was billed by its publisher as “Lesbian Necromancers in Space,” and while that is entirely accurate, it didn’t even hint at two of the most important things about the book, which were swords, and that it is a puzzle mystery. If you haven’t read Gideon the Ninth, go ahead and read on! I’ll tell you why you should. The biggest point I can make about the book Harrow the Ninth is that if you loved Gideon the Ninth you will be thrilled with this follow up to it. After the events of Gideon the Ninth you may be asking yourself, is Harrow okay? Like, not “doing good” exactly but basically…all right? I am here to tell you, No.
