The beginning of the book was a bit challenging for me to get into. The cover looks rad and it was published by Tor, it was all I needed. All I knew about Gideon the Ninth was that we have queer necromancers in space. I’m someone who likes to know very little about books I’m getting into, to keep expectations neutral and just let the book take me where it does. Secondly, I’m sliiightly sad I’m coming into this series late but better now than never. Of course, some things are better left dead.įirst of all… I have FEELINGS.
