trying_my_best_here 's review for:

Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
4.0
dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Didn’t really care much about the exploration of spooky castle but I DID fall in with Gideon and read the whole thing for her lmao! 

Picked up the next as soon as I could heh

First book isn’t very sci fi vibes so don’t expect too much of that until book 2 where it blossoms.
