Gideon the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir

I’ve reread this multiple times. I still love it. It is the most rollicking crazy amazing book you’ll ever read about lesbian necromancer/warriors trapped in a deadly scavenger hunt through a haunted gothic mansion on a mysterious planet. (It’s also the first book of an ongoing series and it does end on an argh note, but it’s totally worth the ride to read standalone.) The narrative voice of Gideon, which manages to be simultaneously irreverent, oblivious, and incredibly evocative, is everything I ever wanted.
