A review by lbarsk
Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

5.0

Fuck yeah. Hell yeah. Muir you absolute genius. You’ve PULLED IT OFF! To everyone review that says this reads like fanfic — yeah, it does, in the best and juiciest way, and in the sense that fanfic allows for experimentation and PLAY and JOKES and IMAGINATION in a way that it’s beginning to feel like even a lot of mainstream SFF doesn’t. God. It’s so confusing and is so rewarding, and figuring out the mysteries and then REALIZING YOU WERE RIGHT pays off a lot. Like, a whole lot. God! Also I cannot believe how specially Harrow and Gideon (are they dead or alive? who can say! this isn’t a spoiler! just go read it!) love each other. End note Ianthe sucks!
