fishwizard 's review for:

Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
4.0

I’ve never been more delighted to be confused my a book- I was flipping down corners of every hint, I probably would’ve thrown a red string theory wall up if anyone was reading it with me.

That being said, the amount of times I yelled out loud in sheer frustration was a couple, the amount of times I yelled out loud in excitement was a few more times than that, and one extra special time I nearly threw my book across the room because Muir just dropped what may have been the most hair pulling, teeth gritting, WORST dad-jokey dad joke of all time. (Of course, there’s more than just one)

It’s a great mystery, but I do wish there were a few more hints in the earlier parts of the story to provide some context because there were a Lot of things being set up that the readers didn’t have any inkling of, and I would’ve liked more of that to hint towards when it’s all pulled together

And somebody please get these characters therapy
