Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

4.5

adventurous emotional funny mysterious tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I was fully pulled into this story and loved the fact that it almost tries to explain the science behind necromancy and how they can enhance their abilities. Gideon is sassy and hilarious; her quips make the descriptions perfect, even if they are not that descriptive. There is one part that felt rushed so that it fit with the end, but it's forgiven because the rest of the book was so enjoyable.
