gigithebookhoarder 's review for:

Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
1.0

WTF was happening in this book??? 

Okay at first I liked Gideon, and Harrowhark, but the more time went on the more I've become detached from them and the whole story. I was really intrigued by the magic and excited to learn more (Spoiler alert! we barely learn anything about the magic). 

you get thrust in the middle of the world with no information whatsoever about anything honestly, and I was okay with that, until I reached page 100 after that I was so over this book. 

If you ask me about the world building in this book I will not be able to answer you, because there was no world building. It says 'Lesbians in space', yeah the space it's talking about only gets mentioned once and not in a very informative way. Gideon and Harrowhark's relationship was 'Oh I hope you die' to 'I don't want you to die' suddenly that I thought I missed some chapter or something. 

I was engaged a little towards the end but what happened was so predictable I didn't have any reaction and I frankly didn't care.

I will not be continuing this series.
