A lot of books get popular because they're following some trend, and aren't actually good. Fortunately, Gideon the Ninth actually IS good. The only issue I had was the pacing, I really almost dnf'd this at about 45% of the way through. It really takes its time to set things up (maybe too much time). However, really great characters and an interesting world does make up for it in the end. I'll definitely be reading the rest of the series.
