[re-read]. This is a perfect book. No notes. Moira Quirk deserves a special place in heaven for her narration. Gideon the Ninth, you are my only friend. I am undone without you.
A bit too many dick jokes for my taste (you would think the audience was hormonal teenage boys) but this was otherwise a funny, dark read with some nice moments. Gideon is a big loveable dumbass, and Harrow is a creepy loveable ghoul. Enjoyed the side characters as well.

this is quite possibly the best fantasy i hav ever read. so arcane-esque i dont even think im comprehending everything bc theres just so many layers and religious references. i would love to see the fight scenes animated but i also think making this a show would absolutely ruin it its just too good. im gonna reflect for a second before reading htn i think my brain might explode if i dont
this book is not for everyone (dense, tough worldbuilding, little explained directly, too many names) but it is for me. just for me, actually. thank you for keeping me in your heart mrs muir <3
(really beautiful writing with similes i've never seen before, vivid like a dream, main character to die for. people have shit to say about the enemies to lovers trajectory - i thought it was masterful and more convincing than most romances i've read in speculative fiction. it's not even necessarily a romance. manages to be something more in the full sense of the words. but more than anything, this book is SO FUN!! it reads, as sb else said, like a video game, or for me personally it was like an anime. and the action scenes were so slick. idk, i rly loved it.)

Huh. I’m kind of stumped on this one. You know how people say, “This book should be a movie,”? Well, Gideon the 9th should be a video game. Tons of puzzles, side quests, and battles, but I still feel like I don’t know what’s going on with their world. The characters are extremely well versed in their world and the challenges they face, but they do little to let us in with them, which is interesting. The religion in this world is so strange but also somehow so familiar. I’ll read the next one, but I’m not really invested, more so curious.
