Gideon the Ninth
by Tamsyn Muir
adventurous
funny
medium-paced
Fs in the chat for me assuming this was a sapphic bodyguard romance ðŸ˜
Instead, it was more like necromancy Clue in space. And if someone had told me this was Space Clue (NOT a sapphic bodyguard rom), I never would have read it 😅
But cheers to me for blindly following the recommendations of others (without actually reading synopsis for myself). Because I really loved this!
The worldbuilding was iconic. Gideon was iconic (kinda gave me Murderbot vibes). The audiobook narrator was iconic. And (finally!) a murdery plot where the reveals were so subtle that whodunnit was never pre-spoiled.
It was twisty, brainy, and kind of grisly (necromancers are maybe a bit too chill about dead peeps). Also, the audiobook was a work of art.
