Gideon The Ninth is a queer gothic adventure, a study of horror and the lengths people go for those they hate to love. It’s an interesting piece but I think the ending felt too open. It’s very clear this is the start to a series which is fine but always leaves one book feeling a bit unsatisfying at its end.
