Many have accused Tamsyn Muir of not explaining anything, of leaving readers confused and bewildered, of obfuscation for its own sake. This is unfair and uncalled for. She has given us a very clear recipe for soup.

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 6 copies of Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb Series Book 1) by Tamsyn Muir. I have this book, and have *started* to read it, but it was too weird for me at the time. I need to try again some time. Everyone I know has said great things about it. Maybe you will too!

Only 365 days left until Alecto the Ninth releases.

From Wikipedia: "'Chowdhury' is a term adapted from the Sanskrit word caturdhara, literally 'holder of four' (four denoting a measure of land), from chatur ('four') and dhara …"

Is this common knowledge? With Reddit and Fandom both gone rancid, not sure where to find Locked Tomb discussion.

This is the exciting, compelling, and totally enjoyable sci-fi series I've been missing since I was an adolescent ripping through Dune, Harry Potter, and Ender's Game. (ugh, what a problematic list!)

Necromancers in space? Queer characters with biting and ridiculous sarcasm? World building that unfolds in amazing twists? Pulse-pounding endings? Very yes. Very recommend.

Just finished the second book in Tamsyn Muir's Locked Tomb series. It's terrific.

The twists pulled off in the second book still feel fresh, surprising, and yet totally connected with the material in the first. I'm hugely impressed with the plotting.

“Fear doesn't help us achieve a state of grace; it deafens the heart.” ― Tamsyn Muir, Nona the Ninth

Another outstanding book in this series. Love the cover illustration too. October 2023 for the fourth book, Alecto the Ninth? Looking forward to it.

#Tamsynmuir, the chaos author who owns my whole heart (and by "owns my heart" I mean she keeps it with a diced dozen other amputated organs in a greasy bait box) just pub'd a western post-sapphic horromance short novl. She ever "here kitty kittied" me, I'd run across rattlesnakes to lick cold human slurry from her gloved finger tips without a second's hesitation. Call me a ditsy fan-ghoul. Don't care. I'm way past feeling. She has my whole heart, din'tja ya read what I said? #Undercover #tazmuir

Reading two books right now.

1 - Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?”

I’ll be reading this one for a while, they liked their novels long in the 1600s.

2 - Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

“I need you to trust me.”
“I need you to be trustworthy.”

Wasn’t sure about a necromancy book, but I really like it.

She answered the Emperor's call.
She arrived with her arts, her wits, and her only friend.
In victory, her world has turned to ash.

Okay... I've restarted the audiobook of Tamsyn Muir's Harrow the Ninth for a third time, having reached the end of Act One and remained thoroughly confused.

I'm told this is to be expected and it'll all make sense eventually, but I also don't feel I've taken enough in to make sense of it later. Maybe coming at it now, fresh after the holidays, a bit less burnt out, will allow my brain to take more of it in. Fingers crossed!
