Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
4.75
adventurous challenging dark emotional funny mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Do not let yourself be put off by the shift from the first book’s writing style. Allow Muir to shatter whatever expectations you have for this novel, flexing her god-tier mastery of just about every aspect of the novel. 

The experimental style elevates the experience and a level of depth to the mystery of it all, though it took a bit to get used to. As soon as I figured out what Muir was going for, I was 100% on board. It will not disappoint. 

And as the case with book 1, the humor was bitingly clever, and the casually dropped Tumblr-isms had me rolling. What a privilege to behold. Truly magnificent.
