Here we are, friendos. We’ve reached the conclusion of Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. I’m your host, Liberty Hardy, and it has been a great honor to lead you through this amazing Locus Award-winning novel. And remember that you can now pick up the second book in the Locked Tomb trilogy: Harrow the Ninth! It’s so freaking good, and I can’t wait to hear what you think about it.

Now, make yourself a snack and settle in, because we’re about to embark on the end of the first book. It be little, but it be mighty. And as always, ready yourself for mega-spoilers.

SO MANY EMOTIONS. It’s time for another deep dive into Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir, and it’s so close to the end that I am having all the feels. I’m your host, Yosaffbridge, and today we are rooting around in chapters thirty-five and thirty-six of this kick-ass Locus Award-winning novel. Which is out in paperback, so your book group has no excuse not to read it now.

There are only four more chapters of Gideon left, so grab your blankie and some tissues, because this shit’s about to get feels. And, remember, there’s no party like a Gideon the Ninth discussion party, because a Gideon the Ninth discussion party has spoilers.

Hello again, readers! It’s time for me to jump up and down and wave my arms about Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. I’m your host, Ice Bear, and today we are diving deep into chapters thirty-three and thirty-four of this kick-ass Locus Award-winning novel. Because 1) It’s the bee’s knees, the snake’s hips, and the cat’s particulars and 2) It’s getting close to the release of Harrow the Ninth. There are only six more chapters of Gideon left for us to discuss, so let’s get right to it! These are teeny chapters but oh-so-important to the story. But remember, here be spoilers.

Welcome back, my little gothballs. It’s time for another close read of Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir! I’m your host, D.B. Cooper, and today I’ll be running down chapters twenty-five and twenty-six of this Hugo and Nebula-nominated book.

Before we start, just a quick reminder that I’m going to spoil these chapters, so if you haven’t read this far in the book yet, you’ll want to slip your face mask up over your eyes while you read this.

It’s time for another close read of Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir! I’m your host, Mr. Bob Dobalina. How is everyone doing out there? Not much has changed in the world since last week, but a lot has changed this week in Gideon the Ninth. I can’t believe we’re more than halfway through the book now! Today I’ll be running down chapters twenty-three and twenty-four for your amusement. And although these chapters be but little, they are fierce.

And like every time I reread books, I find that I have a new favorite minor character. This time around, which is my ninth reading, it’s Camilla. She’s so sensible and brave. I am neither of those things, so I admire her. (I had a different favorite minor character the first time I read the book, but they turned out to be rotten. Which also explains a lot about my dating life.)

It’s time for another close read of Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir! I’m your host, Trentin Quarantino, and today I’ll be running down chapters twenty-one and twenty-two for your amusement.

How is everyone doing out there? I hope you are all as well as you can be, readers, and that you’re not holed up anywhere that has a giant monster bone construct. (Ha, ha, it sounds dirty when I say it.)

Before we start, just a quick reminder that in this post I will be spoility-spoility-spoility down the spoiler trail, so if you haven’t read these chapters yet, you might want to do that first.

It’s time for another close read of Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir! And just in time, too. I don’t know about you, but I welcome the distraction right now. My brain is spinning like a top! So I’m your host, Violet Sharp, and today I’ll be running down chapters nineteen and twenty of the badassest space lesbian swordfighting adventure to ever grace the page.

Before we start, just a quick reminder that you should check out these chapters on your own first, if you don’t want them spoiled for you. Because I will do it, just try me. Don’t make me pull this post over.
