On top of this, Harrow has to deal with her strange memories, and assassination attempts
“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.

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!grets_reads's review against another edition
