It being roughly a year since i'd read Gideon, so starting this book had me even more confused and doubting my memories than i think the author intended, but once i got that that /was/ the point i was fully on board, brain racing to try and unpick the mystery before Muir reveals it to us slowly, masterfully, thread by thread. The humour is not quite the same as in Gideon but is still very much there. I think this will be the best book i read this year, its only flaw being perhaps it doesn't end in an as self-contained a way as Gideon - its going to be a tough wait for Alecto, but i definitely want to reread both Gideon and Harrow in that time with new understanding & to spot all the clues i missed first time round!
