Gideon the Ninth

The book's tone swings between creepy and hilarious in a way that kept me hooked. Did this tonal blend work for others or feel jarring at times?

Her narration adds a unique flavor to the dark fantasy setting. I wonder if the author based her voice on any particular influences or if it evolved during writing.

The detailed descriptions of the necromantic magic and palace politics are fascinating but sometimes dense. Did others find it enhances the story or slows it down?
