Harrow the Ninth

I never expected a book to successfully gaslight me and I would have expected even less that I would enjoy that.

This book manages not only to describe someones descent into madness from intense grief but it makes you feel it yourself. It fractured so many things you thought you knew from the previous book that you constantly doubt your own memory of those past event, but brings everything together towards the end only to leave you with questions again.

It is also repeatedly hilarious and features one of the best dad jokes of all time.

Amazing. During my second read through I started to question if I had ever read this book once. There's so much going on here that multiple reads is a must.

Puesssss, no me ha gustado el ritmo, lo veo excesivo en algunos aspectos, le sobran cosas... Me encanta la imaginación que tiene, pero Buff, me ha costado

The first two thirds slightly annoyed me, in the last third it finally made some sense. Would have given this 3 stars if not for the very unexpected dad joke. 😄

I can't recall a book in recent history that's left me as confused as Harrow the Ninth did. I can fully say that for three quarters of the book I had no idea what was going on. Then it made sense, and then by the final pages it all got confusing again.

That said, it's hugely unique and intriguing, and I am still along for the ride. Also, give me more snarky Gideon + Harrow when it's time for Alecto the Ninth.

A fantastic sequel, better than it had any right to be.
