Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir


Necromancers...in space? Gideon the Ninth features a gathering of the heirs of eight necromancer houses and their cavaliers. They must solve riddles in order to learn new necromancy techniques. But then people start dying. The love-hate relationship between Gideon and her necromancer Harrowhawk is hilarious, moving, and filled with snarky humor. Combine that with skeleton monsters, abandoned scientific laboratories, sword fights, and spaceships, and you have a unique, amazing book.
