absolute fever dream.

i love harrow and how fucked up she is, but also how much she tries.

ianthe sucks in the most wonderful way possible and i love her too.

while gideon the ninth was a take on “and then there were none”, harrow the ninth was a fevered story drinking absinthe. none of it makes sense for most of the book, and that’s the fun part. 

the ending was crazy and still has loose ends, but it also cleared up some things left from the last book. it allowed me to take a break with the series to really savor it and also hope that we get news on the book 4 release.
