I know I only got and read Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir cuz a few people I follow were raving about the book, but that was genuinely one of the most fun stories I’ve read in a long while, even if I was sort of confused with the names of all the people in the first third of the novel.
Honestly, genuinely fun read. The main character’s voice is strong, the place and magics are well-established and feel good, and the harrowing nature of the problems and mysteries they encounter are balanced really well with the interpersonal drama.
Good stuff, recommended.
