 * This review is for the series * I LOVED Gideon the Ninth. One of my favorite characters ever. (I would love to see a collaboration between Gideon and Murderbot.) I read the first two in the series back-to-back in 2021. Almost exactly two years later I got around to Nona. (I pre-ordered it and received it in May 2022 but took a while to read it.) In hindsight I should have re-read the first two books before starting the third. When Alecto comes out – ooo, looks like January! – I will definitely have to do a re-read.

So, Gideon was great and pretty straightforward. Harrow and Nona I found very confusing, I hope by design and not because I’m getting stupid.
