Harrow the Ninth

Chris he/they reviewed Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (The Locked Tomb, #2)

Muir does it again!

5 stars

One thing that is a little infuriating about The Locked Tomb is that every book has significant secrets from the reader and the narrator at the start. Hints and details get dropped throughout, and by the back half of the novel you understand a lot more about the early action. I only caught onto the main weirdness in this book after about 10 chapters.

While that early confusion can be frustrating, I implore you to keep reading! Nearly all of my early questions get answered before the culminating action, along with dozens of questions I never thought to ask! Muir is an expert at weaving together a narrative and world-building that pays off.

Truly beautiful space fantasy with just enough questions left over to leave you desperate for more answers and more books.

A confusing but compelling read

4 stars

This book manages to cultivate a sense of confusion that at first I was unsure of its' intent, but by the end all of the confusion and loose ends are tied up neatly. This is a book about psychosis, grief and death. I didn't expect to get anything deep out of reading this but I did. I was sucked in to the world of the locked tomb once again and honestly I enjoyed every moment of it. I can say with certainty that I want to see what the rest of this series has to offer. So far the locked tomb series continues to stride a fine revealing just the right amount of answers to leave satisfied but still wondering at the questions still left unanswered. If you are starting this book and going "hold on, why is..?" just stick with it and you'll probably get an answer

Madness and grief

4 stars

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.

Even better the second time

5 stars

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.

I didn't like it, but I liked it

4 stars

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. 😄
