GtN: Tor.com is doing a reread

[Anne]

Coincidentally, Tor.com is doing a reread of Gideon the Ninth. They started in January and are currently at chapters 5 and 6, so I already outread them, but it's fun to read alongside the book: https://www.tor.com/tag/gideon-the-ni...

Thanks for sharing this. I love how the reviewer is casting the book as they go along.

I also have trouble with some of the scenes (especially the fight scenes), so the chapter recaps are actually helping me. Unfortunately I'm way ahead in the books, but I will come back whenever a new post is up.

Well, I hope they will do a good job with the last few chapters, because I had to re-read those quite a bit.

In addition to re-reading, Tor is re-printing. The 9th printing of Gideon the Ninth (and only the 9th printing apparently) has a new design.

Not sure if this is related, but they also have a "Pick your Necromancy House" kind of game here: https://www.tor.com/2020/02/17/pick-y...
There are fun colors and even a rhyme scheme, but alas no "sorting hat" style quiz to find out which house you'd be in... yet.
