This book was spectacular, a blast, and absolutely destroyed me at the end with a last jab of a plot twist I never saw coming. I wanted to throw the book SO BAD. But Muir knocked it out of the park in so many ways. Gideon is a unique and matchless main character full of spite and sarcasm and I adored getting to experience her as the main POV. The world was weird and grisly and confusing but in a delightful, creative and cool way and not in a thrown-together way. The plot twists were genius - you never knew what was going to happen next  but once they did you could see the trail the author had made leading there. Thoroughly recommend this if you're okay with weird, not knowing exactly what's happening all the time, and lots of blood and bones and gore. And if you're emotionally ready for an ending that will make you mad.

It seems like I've listed a lot I will say this is a book about necromancers and knights, and the two main characters have a very complicated relationship

This book and series is genuinely the best I’ve read so far. It kept me engaged the whole time, and I will absolutely reread this series as many times as I can. I love Gideon and Harrow so much! They’re so funny and sad and you just want to hold them. I definitely recommend this series!

I described this as a series of “that escalated quickly,” nonstop until the end. It’s a total blood bath. I have a lot of questions and I wish I could look up each character online. But I can’t, because I fear I might stumble upon a spoiler from the next books in the series. So the only thing to do is barrel ahead with Harrow the Ninth.

read it for the third time, it just doesn't get old. each time I find something new, something I missed, something I can appreciate more with knowing more from other books or fan theories. it's hard to get into it once you do... I haven't read a more impactful book series. there is just so much depth to everything. we could study this thing for entire semesters and never run out of stuff to talk about.
