Best book in second person I’ve ever read. What a good depiction of supernaturalized disability. I love Harrow. I would die for Harrow. This fucking series.

I knew before reading this that the plot would not make sense until 2/3 trough, so I was prepared for the confusion.
The finale was something else and bumped my rating from 4 to 5 stars, incredibly satisfying to unwind all the what-the-fuck-is-going-on.
But: check trigger warnings before reading, like there’s a lot of really graphic stuff.
Also maybe not a book anyone should read during an active psychotic episode (this is not a joke).

I feel really really bad not giving this a full score because this book has broken me down in ways i could not imagine. The writing is incredible, the voice is incredible, the plot is so insanely well done and i have to re read it as soon as i can get my hands on a physical copy to mark up and annotate the shit out of. My only gripe is that it was really confusing, and even near the end extremely hard to follow. Maybe it was just me, maybe it’s meant to be that way, but it felt a little bit off near the end. No spoilers tho. Anyways yes absolutely you should read this book, it’s INSANE
