Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

4.0

I'm writing this review after reading the other two books in the series, and I feel like if I had written it immediately after reading Gideon, my rating would be lower.
There's nothing wrong with the book and after revisiting it, I love it a lot more, but when I first read it, I didn't particularly care about the characters.
I loved the prose, and I liked the interactions between Gideon and Harrow, and later on Palamedes and Camilla, but the only thing that made the initial slow pace worth it were the very last chapters.
I still think it's a worthy introduction to the series.
