- lgbtqiap+, sci-fi, sff, post-apocalyptic world, lesbians in space, disaster lesbians, necromancy
- f|f, and for the rest zips mouth
- polyamory, lesbian MCs, and other queer characters

i think the best way to describe my reading htn is 45% wtf-is-even-happening and the rest being oh-God-this-cant-be-happening in the best and worst possible way!! 
tazmuir has created such an enigmatic world filled with the most devious characters, and dad jokes, it blows my mind every time i think about it!!
honestly,,,, OBSESSED with this world and i cant wait for the next book!! 

cw: vomitting, extreme blood and gore, body horror, eating disorder, grief, hallucinations, skeletons, bones, brief description of drowning, violence, attempt to murder and child death, genocide (offpage), cannibalism, self-amputation, suicide ideation, war.

2.0

This book was so enormously disappointing to me.  I adored Gideon the Ninth, and this felt like an entirely different series.  I couldn't handle the pacing, I was so bored.  I hated the second person, even though in the end it all made sense.  And Harrow is just so much more boring than Gideon.  None of what made the first book special to me was present in book two.

And honestly, I just spent the entire book confused.  I still frankly have no idea what happened in this book and I couldn't summarize it if I tried.

I'll still continue the series.  I loved book one enough for that.  But this is without a doubt my biggest disappointment so far of 2021.
