How to Un-Princess: Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower by Tamsyn Muir

January 6, 2024 by Ire

Amazon Affiliate Link When I first picked up the fantasy novella Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower by Tamsyn Muir in 2020, I knew that I’d be coming back to it for more. Because I’m more of a science fiction person, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I bought it; I knew I likedRead More

Meagan Kimberly reviews Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

February 28, 2023 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link In the second of the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir, we follow the story of Harrow. But this isn’t the same Harrow from Gideon the Ninth. It seems like this is a Harrow from an alternate timeline and the original Harrow died. Except not really. However, thereRead More

Sam reviews Nona the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

October 30, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link ʼTis at last that most frightful and morbid of months, a spooky season of ghosts and ghouls, the danse macabre we raise our jaded bones to join but once each year—October is here! And not a moment too soon, because it’s time to check in on everyone’s favoriteRead More

October 25, 2022 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Ready to cut loose from her life serving the Ninth House and a doomed future, Gideon makes plans to escape the planet, but Harrow has other plans for her.

Sam reviews Gideon the Ninth & Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

June 25, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link For Pride this month, I’m going to treat myself a little bit—I would like to talk about Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth, the first half of the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir (the half that’s been released, at time of writing). Now, if you likeRead More

Vic reviews Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

June 13, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Ever since I discovered Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth, I have hesitated to read it for the sheer fact that it could only be a book that I loved or that I hated.  It looked so tailored to my own personal tastes that if it did not deliver, itRead More

Anke reviews Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

December 29, 2021 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Content warnings: Horror, graphic violence, character death, attempted murder and murder, body horror, gore, PTSD/trauma, mentions of suicide and suicidal ideation. If Gideon the Ninth seemed confusing, you will look back and call yourself a sweet summer child, as the meme goes, after finishing its sequel, Harrow. AsRead More

Marieke reviews Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

August 24, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Content warnings (for the book not the review): graphic violence, death, and murder This review focuses on the relationship between the two main characters and occasionally touches on other story elements. Gideon The Ninth is so many different things at once that it would be impossible to include them all here, and I highly recommendRead More
