Finished Gideon the Ninth

Gabiluzbad
It’s good

Gabiluzbad
A fun read with a HELL of an action packed finale

Gabiluzbad
Only problem I had was I had a bit of trouble keeping the characters straight because they introduced the main duo and then a bit later they introduced 15 more characters at once

Gabiluzbad
The structure of the story was kind of like a mystery novel

Gabiluzbad
Or maybe a thriller

Gabiluzbad
Very “one of us is the killer!”

Gabiluzbad
There was a stretch towards the beginning that was kind of weirdly meandering but the individual characters were entertaining enough that they held my attention through that part

Gabiluzbad
Okay spoiler wall but you should read it it’s good

Gabiluzbad
I saw the ending coming

Gabiluzbad
Not the epilogue but

Gabiluzbad
It was super clear that the only way to beat a lyctor was with another lyctor

Gabiluzbad
I didn’t correctly guess the murderer though

Gabiluzbad
I also looked at the cover of Harrow the Ninth

Gabiluzbad
And on that, Harrow has a big two handed sword strapped to her back

Gabiluzbad
Which, if you’re paying attention, is a huge spoiler

Gabiluzbad
That Harrow and Gideon become a lyctor

Gabiluzbad
I don’t think Gideon is just GONE, though

Gabiluzbad
There’s still a bunch of unanswered questions about who she is

Gabiluzbad
I still have many questions

Gabiluzbad
What did the Undying Emperor DO?

Gabiluzbad
Who is the Empire fighting?

Gabiluzbad
Why were people talking about Gideon ten thousand years ago?

Gabiluzbad
What’s up with the River?

Echo
Yeah, I think you're gonna like the next book.

Also, remember that meme from a while back where I said your favorite character would be either Gideon or Camilla? I'm curious, how correct was I?

Gabiluzbad
I don’t remember that but you were right it’s Gideon

Gabiluzbad
Camilla was a BIT too dry in personality but she was definitely cool
