This book was incredible. First off, the way Muir has woven this narrative is absolute brilliance. The book is incredibly confusing. You start off the book directly contradicting everything you read in Gideon the Ninth and it all serves a purpose. Muir is able to craft a narrative that is so unique and it has just blown me away.

Second the characters are so well written. There is still so much snark and sass and attitude as we meet back up with Harrowhark as well as new characters for this story. Harrow may not have the same vibe as Gideon, but I found myself cackling at the way she interacts with all characters involved.

At the end of the day, this was baffling, confusing, mind blowing, and just such an incredible experience. I cannot wait to continue.
