Gawd I effing hated this book, right up until the moment I realized I kind of loved it.
I didn't even want to read it (so. much. hype., and I'm cool like that) but TOR was offering it up for free so there it was sitting on my ereader...and here we are.
Impossible even to describe both its irksomeness and its strong appeal, Gideon... earns a spot as one of those books that is just its own unique experience. That's all I've got.
Strange magic, this. Well done, Muir.

It snuck right up on me. I still don’t understand how, but man did it charm me. Your review is perfect!

Hahaha thanks Serge! It was such a treat to have my view so changed.

Ok, selfishly, I -need- you to read this, Margaret! I’ve never done such a 180 on a book before, and I want to hear what you think. It’s definitely a popcorn read, but it’s a darn fun one!

Ok, that's a pretty big compliment! I am in the market for a good popcorn read, so you've convinced me to bump this up the list.
