I'm honestly more confused ending it than I was starting it, but I kindof love it. Its a huge tone shift from Gideon The Ninth, which makes it feel like a completely different series, but I just love Harrow's character so.. I thought the play with second and third person was super f*ckin cool, which just made what happened later ALL the more fun. Muir does a great job of hiding the truth of literally everything from you until she deems you fit to know, which is a surefire way to keep me invested in the story. I desperately need answers and certain resolutions to come about so hopefully Book 3 doesn't disappoint.
