And between Muir's openly queer cast and her dialogue dripping in internet culture - think: references to Daniel Radcliffe's much-gifed SNL skit and memes like I Studied the Blade - the Locked Tomb trilogy became a welcome reprieve for LGBTQ+ millennial readers who can't often find their experiences in the pages of mainstream fiction. The novel was the first installment of Muir's Locked Tomb trilogy, which follows best frenemies Harrow and Gideon: a noble-born necromancer and her cavalier guardian, respectively. The 35-year-old author first exploded onto the science fiction and fantasy scene with her 2019 debut, Gideon the Ninth. Tamsyn Muir has carved out a literary niche for herself as the queen of the lesbian necromancers.
