Harrow the Ninth was perfect in more than one way.
You'll feel lost. I was completely lost during the first pages. I was wondering if my copy was faulty because I didn't understand what was happening. And so, you read. And you can't stop because you (or, at least, I), want to understand. Something wrong but you can't put your finger on it. Your brain works hard. It might make you angry, especially if you're not very patient.
But then, the last quarter happens. And this time, you can't stop reading, even more than before. No more "one last chapter". No, this time, it's "I need to finish it today or I'll never sleep ever again".
Harrow the Ninth is a true page-turner, taking you by a lot of different emotions. I was happy to find back some characters, to discover new ones and to learn more about others. The characters, the way they are written, theirs relationship... Everything makes sense and makes you love them.
I'm left with questions, wanting answers and desperate for Nona the Ninth.
I think The Locked Tomb books might my favorite 2022 reading.

“My soul is under seige, and I overwrote my real memories with a ghost-filled pocket dimension, which has not apparently been co-opted by some kind of poltergeist.”
It had bewildered her, back at Canaan House, how the whole of her always seemed to come back to Gideon. For one brief and beautiful space of time, she had welcomed it: that microcosm of eternity between forgiveness and the slow, uncomprehending agony of the fall. Gideon rolling up her shirt sleeves. Gideon dappled in shadow, breaking promises. One idiot with a sword and an asymmetrical smile had proved to be Harrow’s end: her apocalypse swifter than the death of the Emperor and the sun with him.
