Review of 'Gideon the Ninth' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This book has been living in my head rent-free for the last four months. I can't stop thinking about it. I fell in love with Gideon immediately. Muir writes with a level of snarkiness you wouldn't expect from this universe, and it's refreshing as well. Expect lots of lewd jokes and sarcasm. The first 100 or so pages were confusing, but I promise it is absolutely 1000% worth it to stick it out. The first time I tried reading this book, I gave up 3 chapters in because I couldn't understand what was happening. But that's the point! This book is SO rewarding to reread as well, because you'll notice so many things the second time through that should have seemed glaring at first.
Read it!!
