Loved  parasolofdoom | Mar 29, 2023 |  Beautifully insane, I can’t believe we have to wait for another installment. This book is insane in all the right ways.I have to admit at first I was soooo confused I wasn't sure I was going to like Harrow as much as Gideon the Ninth. Harrow the Ninth is confusing, chaotic, & full of horror. Alas, the writing snares you and even when I was completely lost wondering how this could be a sequel, I had to keep going. You too may be put off to begin with, but once you see what is happening, you will be marveled by the genius of Tamsyn Muir. Do not be put off reading this, because you will be rewarded. (  ) juliais_bookluvr | Mar 9, 2023 | So. I liked this book much more than [b:Gideon the Ninth|42036538|Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #1)|Tamsyn Muir|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546870952l/42036538._SY75_.jpg|60943229]. The sequel expands/explains the world-building (including some of the slang that annoyed me so much in the first book). It has unreliable narrators, including one in second person. New prickly and complicated characters are introduced. The plot is basically Harrow trying to remember what happened and figure out other mysteries. Like Gideon, however, the book seems to end abruptly with an epilogue that teases the next book. Once again, there is lots of build-up to an unsatisfying conclusion. (  ) tornadox | Feb 14, 2023 | UPDATE 25/09/22 - Reread in preparation to read Nona the Ninth! Wowsers! Even on a reread I was still scratching my head in some places. Absolutely loved it! Original review Well I can't put my thoughts together properly yet, and if I am being honest, it might not be until after I have re-read both books. I can't emphasise enough how incredible Tamsyn Muir's writing is in all it's descriptive, foul mouthed glory. I know the overly descriptive stuff won't work well for everyone but I absolutely loved it! The seemingly overworked sentences are essential to the style of humour Muir has mastered - the intelligent, insult laden type that had me in stitches. I will write a review but I have to think about it as I need to keep it spoiler free. I recommend Fiona's or Nataliya's reviews as they are excellent! Love love love this series! ( ) Mrs_Tapsell_Bookzone | Feb 14, 2023 | Even more of a mindf*ck than the first book, and like the first time, I didn't put it down. Sometimes the descriptions of gore made me wonder if the author had performed many autopsies in her life, or how she kept coming up with more words to describe the structure of bones. I need a copy of Grey's Anatomy to read this. Just read it and don't try to make sense of it-- the plot will unfold and you'll be glad you read it.
