loppear reviewed Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (The Locked Tomb, #1)
Review of 'Gideon the Ninth' on Goodreads
3 stars
Sword-swinging and skeletal magic, nearly all-women, led by a sarcastic saucy misfit (voice as enjoyable as Murderbot, perhaps too close) in a dying galactic empire. Enjoyed the puzzling and locked-room wizarding with these welcome setting twists, but ultimately I may not be the swashbuckling audience.
