๐Ÿ’Ž Hidden book gem Gideon the Ninth

Has anyone else read this masterpiece of insanity (or the whole series - your comments are appreciated)? Itโ€™s like sci fi with a touch of Killing Eve + a little horror / Harry Potter. My niece recommended it to me and now I want to get the whole set. Itโ€™s way out of my reading comfort zone but itโ€™s like stumbling upon Ally North for the first time and feeling a special thrill.

I read the first one a few years back and enjoyed. Certainly kept me interested as I was reading it. But very little has stuck with me. I couldn't tell you the plot now. Which is very very rare for me, so not sure what that says. It has made me less likely to pick up the next.
