Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, 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.

Fun. Not art, very gory, but 100% fun.

A slow burn to a payload of TnT
Reviewed: 03-07-24
The performance of the narrator is top tier. The life and humor and sorrow in the characters oozes out of her words.
The story itself was hard to get into, taking me two tries to get past chapter 2. But once the story starts to open up, things get better. And they only keep getting better until the final beautiful ending. If you can push through a bit of a dry beginning this book is a great story with loads of lovable characters unfortunately buried in a heap of more bland ones who only show their uniqueness and potential towards the end of the story’s run.

Fantastic in every way
Reviewed: 11-15-23
This is a much grittier collection from Nix, and it’s amazingly well done. It feels a bit too much like an episodic series of Saturday morning cartoons where the characters will always save the day, but watching the chaos and destruction that falls around them never gets old.
This narrator has an absolutely stunning vocal range. His Sir H and Mr F come to life perfectly in every line.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 615
Frances Janvier spends most of her time studying. Everyone knows Aled Last as that quiet boy who gets straight A's. You probably think that they are going to fall in love or something. Since he is a boy and she is a girl. They don't. They make a podcast. In a world determined to shut them up, knock them down, and set them on a cookie-cutter life path, Frances and Aled struggle to find their voices over the course of one life-changing year.

Astounding in its character depth. Mostly.
Reviewed: 10-06-23
Overall the themes explored feel a bit over explained and easy to see coming, but the characters and their depth and interactions are amazing. It serves as a great timepiece for that early social media Tumblr culture.
And the performance. God is it amazing! So well narrated, especially when voicing conversations between Aled and Francis. Beautifully done

A new amazing fantasy that reads as realism from Garth Nix
I was a massive fan of the Old Kingdom series, and was a little let down with Goldenhand. Seeing Nix come into this new setting wish such a great piece with lovable characters really did a lot to revive my love for fantasy.
