This book was so enormously disappointing to me.  I adored Gideon the Ninth, and this felt like an entirely different series.  I couldn't handle the pacing, I was so bored.  I hated the second person, even though in the end it all made sense.  And Harrow is just so much more boring than Gideon.  None of what made the first book special to me was present in book two.

And honestly, I just spent the entire book confused.  I still frankly have no idea what happened in this book and I couldn't summarize it if I tried.

I'll still continue the series.  I loved book one enough for that.  But this is without a doubt my biggest disappointment so far of 2021.
