Episode notes

This chapter delves into the world-building and premise of the book 'Harrow the Ninth' in the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. It explores the planet made of skeletons, resurrection by an emperor, different types of magic, and the significance of the locked tomb. The chapter also discusses the ninth house, a death cult, and the calamity that resulted in the death of most necromancers.

To kick off a month of sequel coverage, we get bone deep in the Locked Tomb follow up Harrow the Ninth. This obtuse but compelling sci-fi/fantasy tome plays with perspective, doubles down on the space wizards, and challenges the reader NOT to notice oddly specific meme references.
