Stevie’s Reviews > Gideon the Ninth > Status Update

Okay, once we got to the mystery part everything started to grow on me. Realizing that I have also disliked someone to a degree where I was annoying and petty (and I'm also probably similarly insufferable at times) also helped me sympathize with Gideon a bit more. The first bit is rough but I'm kind of loving it now lol. Obsessed with Harrow for sure

can't tell if I dislike gideon, or if I just don't like the style the narration is written in. it feels like gideon/the narration is trying too hard to be quirky/snarky/edgy, and it kind of falls flat for me. it also feels like a lot of things are being repeated/rehashed for no real reason? it's kind of "student trying to pad their essay to reach the word count" vibes. it makes the pace feel needlessly slow.
