Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
5.0
How do I write a review for one of the best books I've ever read? I cannot stop thinking about. About this world. This world that doesn't actually exist. A world I want to live on(even though I wouldn't last a single day, maybe 2 days if I were lucky). How?? How do I share all that I felt? How do I share about a world I'll never get to visit, characters that I don't actually get to be friends with?
I will never do it justice. Even as I have sat here, contemplated, stared at a wall, dreamed of this book.. I just don't know how I could ever do this book justice in a review...
So I guess I will keep it simple. If you like dry humor, charming characters, intricate world building, violence(ya know in books only), so many twists, women who are brave, kick ass, so smart, so vibrant, but also vulnerable in their strength... pick it up. I don't know if I have ever laughed so much in a gothic type fantasy. I don't know how someone even writes a book like this. I didn't want to put it down. I didn't want it to end(thankfully there are two more books), but just wow. Wow. That is all I can say.
6 stars.
