Historia
A fresh-faced newcomer arrives in an isolated, gang-run town and soon finds herself taking a job nobody else wants: bodyguard to a ghoul. Not just your average mindless, half-rotted shuffler, though. Lucille is a dancer who can still put on her own lipstick and whose shows are half burlesque, half gladiator match. But the stranger is no stranger to this particular ghoul. Both women are undercover in their own way. And both have something to lose if their connection comes to light.

Historia
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Elsinora, Gwendolyn, and Marguerite are through with warts-and-all tabloids, ugly lies, and the three ungrateful brats who pitted them against each other and the world. But maybe there’s more to the stories than even the Wickeds know. Is it time to finally get revenge? After all, they’re due for a happily-enough-ever-after. Even if they have to write it themselves.

Historia
For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

The Sun People are bound by an ancient law, left by the long-vanished Sky People: They must never kill. To other tribes, who have no such law, the Sun People are easy prey who will not defend themselves. Their game is poached, their stores raided, their women abducted, their men are killed for sport. But when Raging River and her sister are attacked by a Wolf People raiding party, River fights back and kills one of the warriors. Worse, she has killed the son of their chief.

The day Fatima forgot her name, Death paid a visit. From hereon in she would be known as Sankofa - a name that meant nothing to anyone but her, the only tie to her family and her past. Her touch is death, and with a glance a town can fall. And she walks - alone, except for her fox companion - searching for the object that came from the sky and gave itself to her when the meteors fell and when she was yet unchanged; searching for answers.

Resumen del Editor
When the witch built the 40-flight tower, she made very sure to do the whole thing properly. Each flight contains a dreadful monster, ranging from a diamond-scaled dragon to a pack of slavering goblins. Should a prince battle his way to the top, he will be rewarded with a golden sword - and the lovely Princess Floralinda.
But no prince has managed to conquer the first flight yet, let alone get to the 40th.
In fact, the supply of fresh princes seems to have quite dried up.

This is excellent
I have to say, having never read anything by Tamsyn Muir before, this book was FANTASTIC. The narrator, who I notice has read a bunch of Muir's books, did the hands down perfect job with it. I can only think of one or two other narrators who could possibly have done it as well.
Some of what I liked so much about it is the underlying themes in particular. Yes the author took many of the fairy tale/legend tropes and either turned them on their heads or showed the quiet part out loud, but she also gave it a dark twist that was extremely well done.
The underlying lessons were subtle enough you don't really notice them until you mull the story over a bit. I only listened once but this was a purchase I am very happy with and one I will listen to many more times.
Now I need to try the other books Tamsyn Muir has written.

This Novella was amazing. Turned everything about fairy tales upside down and made it so much better. Honestly a triumph of a female protagonist. Every second of this book was beyond a delight. The narrator performed brilliantly. I honestly don't have the correct words for how much I enjoyed this book.

girls just want to have fun
The princess-in-a-tower trope has been stood on it’s head before, but never so darkly funny. Tamsyn Muir lovers genderfuckery and the inversion of accepted social constructs around gender *and* swords. And guts (spilled). If this doesn’t bring a feral grin to your face and an ache to your soul you may wish to check your pulse, then your assumptions. If it makes you howl with fervor by all means grab The Locked Tomb books, also voiced by the magnificent Moira Quirk.

Clever Girl!
This has the feel of the Brothers Grimm meets Shrek’s Fiona as Princess Florinda transforms from damsel to dragon slayer in 39 not too easy steps and via confrontations with an impressive variety of magical beasts. It’s clever and funny, but not for animal lovers or vegetarians. 😜 There are not so subtle digs at men, gender stereotypes and fairy class systems. The ending is quirky, if a bit abrupt. On sale, this was a delightfully twisted tale.
I liked this so much better than the hot mess that was the author’s Gideon the Ninth. Moira Quirk’s narration is perfection. This is free of swearing except for a riff on “effing madmen.” I will let my 6th grader listen to this no problem. For similar books, I recommend Once More Upon a Time or the series beginning with Two Necromancers, A Bureaucrat, and an Army of Golems.

A great take on a princess locked in a tower
This short listen was fun and laugh out loud funny from start to end. The couple of reviews that call it woke or feminist had me scratching my head. A princess battling her way out of the tower (feminist??) or because a fairy doesn't have a gender and the princess assigns one is woke (really??). I would agree with the reviews that there is enough violence/gore that it probably isn't for under 12, but otherwise it's pretty tame stuff.
Put simply, this is a fun, quick listen. You won't regret this purchase.

Most amusing
Humorous and well paced. The story is the perfect length. I couldn't recommend it more.
