Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #1)

So, how important is this Gideon chic? You swear to reveal earth shattering (or bone shattering, snigger) secrets and no one decides to kill you? Like, it never even crossed their minds. 😏
And, that power display from the RevSis in first chapter. Why? Made no sense.
I'm writing this review because this book weird.
I'm writing this review because I can.
I'm writing this because the same method was employed in the book.
I'm writing this because I know space fillers when I see one.
I'm writing like this because author employed this method as book-bulking tactics.
Etc.
Every time I opened the book, I always had a little bit of shock to realise it was a 3rd person view and not a first person. The book is so YA, I just kept on expecting it to be 1st person.
Bone-kinesis. I like. Bony robots.
At a point, I stopped keeping track of characters. There were 9 or 10 princesses, 9 cavaliers, 4 priests. That's 23 characters, with strange names and titles and fairly irritating nicknames.
DNF at around 39%. I like Gideon, she's alright. A bit dense, but, alright. I love Harrowhark. She's AWESOME. But sadly, even they couldn't keep the story going.
