My take on tlt in general is that it’s very good, but when I read Gideon at first I thought it was garbage. I was pissed off by the ending, thought the world building was dumb as hell, etc. I eventually decided to give harrow the ninth a go and it completely changed my perspective on Gideon the ninth and the whole series. Just my two cents.

help. well the thing about the first book in a series not really making you want to read the rest of the series is that, you didn't do a great job with your first book then huh. it doesn't necessarily mean the rest of the series is going to be bad, but the reader hasn't been given any reason to believe it's going to be good, either. like without hearing other people's opinions, i independently would have no interest in continuing the series. i already gave you 400 pages to grab my attention you shouldn't need another 400 after that!
