Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

5.0

crazy ass book. even though i had almost no idea what was going on for most of the book, i still ended up enjoying it more than gideon. it's clear here that muir is a lot more confident in her writing than the first of the trilogy, which resulted in this novel beig extremely engaging the entire way through. i enjoyed all of the new characters, especially john, and it was nice to have more focus on the characters that died in the first book. i love abigail and magnus. also getting to see dulcie and pal's true selves was amazing, pal being a poetry nerd was so unexpected and i loved the rivalry that ortus encouraged between them.

amputation as a substitution for a sex scene is something that i never thought i needed until now. does it remind me of limbless hajime danganronpa? a little bit. do i care? no. is it because it's being reframed by lesbians that have a weird psychosexual relationship with each other? yes.

i cannot wait to read nona i need more lesbians
