Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

adventurous dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

I’ve never had a book make me feel more confused or dumb. I’m sitting here truly stupefied bc I don’t know if I even have the intelligence to relay what happened or who it happened to. The writing was atmospheric but I feel like a kindergartener trying to read a PhD thesis on the thermodynamics of the body. Plus add space and religion and a huge cast of characters that I still can’t describe.  It’s a good book but I struggled to get through it. And now
that Gideon is quite literally dead and NOT coming back (?)
  I have no motivation to continue the series.
