Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

dark funny mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

I’m so glad the book club I’m in chose this book to read. I would have put it off for even longer if they hadn’t. This had been on my radar for a while and I’ve heard people either rave about it or hate it. The first 30% of the book is mostly just setting up the world and introducing the reader to the characters (which there are a lot of), which I enjoyed, after that, the story gets going. Was I confused for a lot of it? Yes. Do I fully understand the different necromantic magic? No. Did I have a fun time and was thoroughly entertained? Absolutely yes.
