Thanks to Tamsyn Muir you don't need another of those embarassing Nevernight books to please your inner teen goth. "Gideon the Ninth" is relentlessly morbid while being incontestably the most fun you'll ever have with a bunch of battling necromancers.

The characters are amazing and Gideon herself feels like a person you've never seen portrayed in any sff book before.

The novel also contains the best gay romance I have read in ages, so that's that.
