I’m 1/3 through Gideon the Ninth, and independent of everything, it’s funny! “He had the eyes of a very beautiful person, trapped in resting bitch face.” I think I gurgled a little.

Ahhh, that’s right! It’s outtttt today. That’s exciting!

It is! Isn’t it? It’s funny in a way that really worked for me, so irreverent and modern amid like, very classical gothic scifi. I highlighted so many lines like that. Especially for Harrow, who I adored. The humor was the throughline for me and the strongest justification for keeping it as a rec no matter what else happened.
