Hahaha, that was basically my reaction, too. (I finished it, like, a week and a half ago? And it's still kind of swirling around my brain, even though I've finished two other books after and am in the process of reading two more.)
The trust fall analogy is very apt! After 'Gideon', I definitely did not trust Muir enough for an entire book of trust fall, but I read 'Harrow' heavily spoiled, so it still worked out. And at this point I do think I have enough trust to go into 'Alecto' without intentionally spoiling myself.
-I am most impressed that Muir got me so into Ortus, which I never would have imagined possible after reading Gideon. And I was so moved by the triumph of bad poetry, which is a sentence that I would not have imagined being able to type non-ironically before reading this book (but I do mean it non-ironically!)

Same, on both counts! Triumph of bad poetry FTW!
