A review by sofipitch
Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
Idk how much to say other than I loved it. Muir manages to somehow make being confused about what's going on fun, normally that would be a major turn off yet it somehow works, I'm going to be so sad once I finish Nona and have to wait months to potentially a year for Alecto to come out
Reread review:
Okay so I have even more of an appreciation for this book now that I have reread it. It is so insanely well crafted. Now knowing what was coming all the foreshadowing hit me like a brick. I don't want to give too much away but this book holds so many secrets and tries to get you to think it's doing a specific trope when nope! I just have so much fun with this book being a puzzle you have to unlock ❤️
This is also probably one of the darker if not darkest TLT book, I love them all for different reasons (they are all basically very different) but this one definitely played into my interests the most. So if I had to pick a favorite it is HTN. I am amazed by how much Harrow's book mirrors Harrow herself. The book keeps you in the dark and confused for most of it, which is what Harrow is experiencing throughout. But also it matches Harrow's character that we met in GTN, also trying so hard to disguise herself, the truth not coming out until near the end
