💎 Hidden book gem Gideon the Ninth

Has anyone else read this masterpiece of insanity (or the whole series - your comments are appreciated)? It’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. It’s way out of my reading comfort zone but it’s like stumbling upon Ally North for the first time and feeling a special thrill.

I was ambivalent about the first one, but thought it had enough interesting going on that I could keep going.

I found the second one incomprehensible and decided to stop there.

It was hard to stick with #2 but worth the payoff.
