Harrow the Ninth

Emotionally wrecking, this book manages to suprise yet again. Definetly my favorite of this series. Muir has a talent for writing that is fresh and multi-faceted, being able to change tone and character as the POV changes. Be prepared and enjoy!

I tremendously enjoyed Harrow the Ninth, the second book in Tamsyn Muir's "Locked Tomb" series. Highly distinct setting (necromancers, swordfighting, and queerness in space). The story is twisted, spiced up with puzzles and the occasional mystery. The writing is on point, deft, skilful, landing its punches.

This is the weeping book. You love all the tough heroines with their wit and power and powerlessness. This ilias is just the next big genre and ... just click the "buy" button finally!

This Book had me in an absolute chokehold! One page leaves you completely confused, the next puts all the pieces together and slowly the whole story starts to make more and more sense. Yes, the book is confusing. And yes, it exacts much from you. But it is so absolutely worth it! Great writing, epic fights, the dark and eerie setting and the ridiculous humor made this book a worthy successor to the first volume of the series.

wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. How do you describe the experience of reading this book? Disorienting, harrowing (hah), hilarious, devastating, life changing. It's now one of my favorite books and Harrwohark has firmly cemented herself as one of my favorite characters in anything ever.
