I am officially obsessed with this book. I initially bumped it up my TBR because there seems to be an almost cult-like following in this one book-related discord server I'm part of and I was feeling like I needed to see what the fuss was about.
At first I wasn't so sure about it, but after giving it a few chapters I fell absolutely in love with the sheer snark from Gideon, Harrow, and the rest of the prominent characters. I understood like 80% of what was going on at any one time until the end, but in a good way? It's such a unique premise and incredibly elegantly written so I'm very excited to move on to read Harrow the Ninth.
