The Vox Book Club is linking to to support local and independent booksellers.
This pandemic winter could use some joy. So the Vox Book Club spent December and January with two of the most fun books I’ve read in a long time: the first two volumes of Tamsyn Muir’s Locked Tomb trilogy,
Harrow the Ninth. And at the end of January, we met up with Muir on Zoom to talk them through.
The Locked Tomb trilogy’s logline is that it is about lesbian necromancers in space, but it’s also so much more than that. It’s a rich and vibrant story about love and sin and redemption, laced through with allusions to everything from Peter’s denial of Christ to the none pizza with left beef meme. We asked Muir to explain herself, and she obliged.
