A review by bonzoobel
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

Did not finish book. Stopped at 45%.

had to bail gang. these were the most grueling 200pages of my life i simply couldn't continue. i dont care how much everyone loves these books but 400 pages of contextless competition? no thank you dawg. yet another book with zero exposition. also the first third is stake-less which i feel.. is vital in a book like this. what do you MEAN gideon tried to escape multiple times. never succeeded. and then multiple authority figures saw, talked to her, and then simply left??????? feels like a manufactured problem if ive ever heard of one. also the writing is weird in a bad way i did not enjoy the formal religious language mixed in with the most ridiculous, childlike cursewords . also there are way too many epithets for every character which wouldn't be bad if they were more clear about. Who Exactly They Referred To.
