This is intensely character driven and I couldn't help but fall in love with Gideon, attitude and all. That being said, devoting an entire book to a character, getting the reader attached to them, fall in love with them and their quirks and then remove them from the equation for the rest of the series is RUDE AF!
I'm not sad, so much as annoyed that I can't follow her story any more. My days for adult books are numbered and Harrow the Ninth isn't getting on my list for a while.
It was a brilliant read though! The world building! Necromancers! GAYS IN SPACE! It's what every elder emo kid wants.

Due to how necromancers work in this world, there is a lot of detailed descriptions of death, blood, and gore. Sometimes the blood/flesh of other people, most frequently their own in order to interact with bones and spirits. There is one description of a character that tied power to an eating disorder, but mentioned in passing. Medical trauma, terminal illness and cancer go together in one characterkaylamoran's review against another edition

I love Gideon's sense of humor, I wish more book characters had a sarcastic wit like her.
