Gideon is THE female character of all time and Harrowhark is also THE female character of all time. Thank you Tasmyn Muir for understanding that teen girls are weird and freaks and pulsating with pathos. After so many years not really reading I had forgotten not all literature has to be like life-changing-perspective-altering art, they can just be entertainment!
