i did find myself re-reading bits a few times because i got a bit confused, but overall it was a really good read and i think it works great as a follow-up to gideon the ninth. however it has left me with So Many Questions this is horrible

This book picks up immediately after Gideon and is not remotely a standalone story. The story is intentionally left obscure and confusing until the ending, where it is revealed this obscurity is a piece of the plot. The ending is a cliffhanger, though I don't know if it's a cliffhanger that will be picked up in Nona the Ninth, or if it's just a cliffhanger ending to Harrow's story.

The first half of the book was really confusing and kinda boring, but I kept reading because I love the characters and wanted to see what happened to them. I'm glad I did, because the second half of the book was excellent. It was fast paced and all the mysteries from the first half got answered. Another thing to note is that a good chunk of the book is written in 2nd person pov, which was an interesting experience. And it's very different in tone compared to Gideon the Ninth, which isn't a bad thing, just a bit jarring.
Updated review: 5/5 stars
This books is *so* much better the 2nd time reading it. All the confusing aspects from the first read make more sense, but it's complex enough that you're still trying to figure out all the details and foreshadowing. The 2nd person POV is weird to get used to at first but god is it genius. This is one of those books that's so complex, interesting, and just plain funny that I'll be rereading it for years to come. Oh and I absolutely love Muir's writing style. Again it's kinda weird at first, but once I got into it it was fantastic.
