Mostly Queer Book Club discussion

This is a dedicated space to discuss our November read, Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir, as it received the first place vote in the last poll.

Okay, so i havent actually finished it yet, but ive been REALLY enjoying it so far (having finally passed the 170 page character introductions 🤪 Tamsyn, please spare us)

despite having to google terms every 2 pages (Tamsyn. Tamsyn please not all of us work at Oxford) its really interesting!

i'm also going to finish this late... but i also love it so far

I'm posting this late but I'm officially obsessed with Gideon the Ninth and I'm starting the sequel today. Definitely referenced the character list wayyyyy too much though lol.
I forget what I rated this but I'm not hard to please, prob 5 stars.

YES i for sure was flipping back and forth BASICALLY constantly trying to keep all those ducks in a row. i almost picked up Harrow the Ninth today but i had to put it back, i dont think my unread stacks would appreciate me adding another to the pile 🥲

you guys had a character list for reference?? my audiobook readin' ass just suffered with not knowing any of the b-list characters' names lmao. i feel like i barely knew what was going on in this book at times, but in the best way. what i do know is that it hurt me :c

all the bone and death imagery was amazing, the concept of necromancer space lesbians is fucking phenomenal and original, and the chARACTERS??? astounding. gideon and harrow both have my heart. i absolutely plan on continuing this series at some point.
