Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
5.0
This was a fantastic sequel to Gideon the Ninth, but I definitely needed the enthusiasm from loving the first book so much in order to have the patience to wait for the initial mysteries to pay off. Asking your audience to put up with sincerely having no idea what is going on for the first 60% of the book is a tall order, but Muir definitely has the stuff to pull it off. And once it all started coming together, I was locked in for the last 40% of the book (ruining my sleep schedule to burn all the way through it.)
I think my favorite part was the Matt fight (as I affectionately called it). I have no taste and am a huge sucker for when people speak in iambs, especially when it's contrasted against an otherwise very modern lexicon. John also became one of my favorite characters, because I love complicated dudes who seem very reasonable but are in fact The Worst.
I definitely would not have been as chill with the ending as I was if I didn't have the next book queued up to immediately start, though. What a cliffhanger!
