Lesbian Necromancers in Spaaaaaaaaaace!  Like, how does one explain ”Gideon the Ninth” by Tamsyn Muir?  Post apocalyptic thriller mystery with disaster emo queer teens?  Escape room to prove your worth to god, but also goth makeup?  Trial by combat (sword fights!) but make it snarky?  Rilke references but also Homestar Runner.  Either way, unique, weird, fun, and totally engaging #PrideSFF #book.
