Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
2.0
I don't know how I made it until the end. I wanted to DNF this multiple times, yet each time I saw how far I was into the story I figured I'd keep going. Unfortunately for me this was a waste of time.
The premise is gorgeous, gothic, absolutely haunting; everything about this story SCREAMS me. However, it seemed to fall short on everything it promises. Not too fond of the pacing in this book, didn't really care for any of the characters, nor was it an easy task to decipher who was who. They all sort of blended together after a while.
Not to mention the lack of world building for my personal taste. I felt as though we were thrown into this world expected to know everything and the book never made a habit to fill in the blanks.
I understand why everyone enjoys this so much, however, this just wasn't for me. I don't see myself perusing the rest of the series.
