Harrow the Ninth
by Tamsyn Muir
Read my full review at between-the-shelves.com!
Fair warning, the first half of this book is incredibly difficult to follow. It’s told in a nonlinear fashion, with a somewhat unreliable narrator in Harrow. Harrow is pretty sure she’s going mad, so it’s hard to tell what’s real and what isn’t. Don’t worry, though! By the end, it all makes sense. Which means this series in general lends itself to re-reads (or re-listens).
This also has great LGBTQ rep, as did Gideon the Ninth. 100% glad that we read it for book club so that I could be introduced to this world. If you loved Gideon the Ninth, you definitely won’t be disappointed in this sequel! Harrow the Ninth doesn’t fall pray the sophomore slump–a wild ride that will leave you wanting more at the end!

Giving this 4.5 stars because that first half is a bit difficult to wade through, but the ending is so worth it. That cliffhanger! Full review to come later this week.
