Nic ☾ | she/they | ♀♀ Recommend me books where the villain wins, I hate every character, or I love them but they die. Also, a therapist. And another hobby. But mostly books.

The only thing I was certain of at any point is that I was reading a book and I loved it. To describe anything in addition as 'dubious' would be deeply generous.

Has any man ever been more bored and lonely than God and all the inane conversations he has with literally anyone who will listen? And he's like that uncle who repeats himself 3x when you definitely heard him the first time. We get it, Abram's descendents will be more numerous than the stars in the sky and dust in the dirt. Go to sleep grandpa.

The only thing better than reading Gideon the Ninth is reading Gideon the Ninth twice in two weeks

Gideon the Ninth
Tamsyn Muir
The Emperor needs necromancers. The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman. Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit. 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. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service. Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. Of course, some things are better left dead.
