Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

5.0

This book is the most wonderfully, confusingly fun book I’ve read all year. Confusing is the operative word because I had no fucking clue what was going on for most of the book — reader beware because you will have NO FUCKING CLUE what is going on for most of this book. Somehow the confusing what the fuckness was on purpose and done well??? So I’m not mad at it. Also, Gideon Nav is the coolest fucking character I’ve ever read, even when she’s dead.

Other great things: the best dad joke ever, references to memes both classic and obscure as fuck, and the sentence “these motherfuckers had a hunger only thumbs could satisfy”

Definitely read this book, it’s great. But be prepared to spend most of it gleefully baffled.
