A review by strawberrytops
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

this book is one of a kind.
thrown into a foreign world without much of an explanation, but held on. i’m so glad i did. 
the last two thirds of the book i could not put it down. murder mystery in a haunted palace, in space, with modern humor. found myself snickering to myself several times. highly recommend hanging in there for the first third of the book, it’s setting up for a hell of a ride.
