Nada es lo que parece en las estancias del Emperador, y el destino de la galaxia descansa sobre los hombros de una única mujer.

El Emperador ha reclutado a Harrowhark Nonagesimus, la última nigromante de la Novena Casa, para combatir en una guerra perdida de antemano. Harrow tendrá que aliarse con una rival detestable y perfeccionar sus habilidades para así convertirse en un ángel de la no-muerte, pero su salud empieza a flaquear, su espada le da náuseas e incluso su mente amenaza con traicionarla.

Presa en la gótica penumbra del Mitreo del Emperador con tres profesores nada amigables y perseguida por el fantasma demente de un planeta masacrado, Harrow deberá hacer frente a dos preguntas incómodas: ¿hay alguien que intenta matarla?

Y, en caso de conseguirlo, ¿será el universo un lugar mejor?

SKUNK@books.theunseen.city reviewed Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (The Locked Tomb, #2)

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.

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. 😄

I can't recall a book in recent history that's left me as confused as Harrow the Ninth did. I can fully say that for three quarters of the book I had no idea what was going on. Then it made sense, and then by the final pages it all got confusing again.

That said, it's hugely unique and intriguing, and I am still along for the ride. Also, give me more snarky Gideon + Harrow when it's time for Alecto the Ninth.

It’s all about loss, baby

5 stars

I enjoyed Gideon but I liked this one better. Totally different tone and problem: it’s all about wrestling with loss and culpability, so check your mood before jumping in. Especially if you’ve struggled with dealing with someone dying, it can resonate more than you’re expecting.

Holy shit this was an incredible book. It has it all: a very intriguing setting that keeps you wondering how things work. A plot that keeps you glued to the story; I had many theories on what was going on- most of them wrong. And characters that are fascinating to read about, whether they are discussing the mysteries of life and death, visiting other planets, or just enjoying some soup. I highly recommend this series and can't wait for the next book!
