Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
2.0
magical competitions are one of my favorite tropes ever, but this had the most boring one i’ve read so far.
i was bored the whole time, characters blended together and were hard to distinguish, gideon was childish and immature and harrow annoying and edgy.
what doesn’t make sense is the whole enemies to lovers applied here… like they literally hated each other and had no chemistry whatsoever but in the turn of a page they were in love? let’s be for fucking real
i wanted to dnf it so bad but i have a physical copy so i forced myself to finish it, i had to skim the last 50 pages and the ending wasn’t even satisfying.
i’m giving it 2 starts solely because the magic system is very cool, that’s it
