    The books in that series all seemed to follow the same pattern of something weird, interesting and mysterious happening, having no idea what was going on, spending the whole book getting a slightly better picture of it only for something else totally incomprehensible to happen and the cycle started again. I wanted to like it but I got sick of the antics. Really interesting world though

      Yeah it was interesting but honestly I just kind of found Gideon a bit too much on the cringy side of edgy… There was a lot to like but I found a lot of it very grating somehow.

          I still enjoyed it, I’m just highlighting the bit I wasn’t as keen on. Its purely a subjective opinion on it, I’m not saying the books are objectively bad or anything. Its fine to like different things.
