Delivers on the promise of the first book but comes at you sideways. Provides some answers and revelations, and expands the universe of the Nine Houses, but preserves enough mystery that you’ll be hungry for the next one. It’s really hard to say much else without spoilers!

Wtf did I just read!?!? I had no idea what was going on half the time and somehow in the last third of the book everything fell together in an implosion of plot twists.  I think Muir is some kind of genius to write something so bizarre and dark yet funny and lovable all at the same time.  I have never read anything like Gideon the Ninth or Harrow the Ninth and I still am at a loss on how I’m supposed to comprehend all that I just read!
