A book set in contemporary times on Earth! How unusual for this year! This is a novel with two sisters at the center and that’s all I remember about it. The library didn’t have access to it for awhile, but it does now and I’m excited to check it out!

Am I going to have to re-read all of these in 4 years or whenever the next book comes out? Probably. Am I excited to rip my way through this one? Absolutely.

Harrow the Ninth is a sequel and picks up where Gideon the Ninth left off. Harrowhark finds herself a wreck, but in the emperor’s service. She is not well-liked by her colleagues, she has, at best, acquaintance who will keep her around as long as she’s useless, and she lives on a space station that the angry ghost of a planet is heading towards. Her body is also not on-side. How does she survive all this mess?
This was just has fun and engrossing as the prequel. The writing is spectacular and full of little clues to the bigger picture that made it a fun puzzle to work through. These are really enjoyable reads and I can’t wait for the next one.

I’m am going to lose so much sleep to this series.

In the beginning of 2023 I asked people to suggest books for me. I wrote them down and put them in a jar so when I wasn’t sure what to read next I could just pull one out and that would be the next one.
Gideon the Ninth was suggested by at least 3 people and I’ve been giving up my first-in-line spot at the library for at least six months. This time, I figured it was time.

It’s been a while since we’ve done some nonfiction pleasure reading.
