Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 68%.
DNF at 64%. This book is fine but I could not pretend that I was entertained/intrigued by what is going on if I tried. While it did nothing to make me actively dislike it, I also never got anything that kept me invested, so I will save my time here and move on.
