Harrow the Ninth
Jul. 13th, 2021 08:16 amfinally starting to get caught up on writing up my Hugo reading! I hope!
4/5. Well. That was a WILD ride.
-I had managed to osmose beforehand that Harrow was crazier than Gideon the Ninth, and before reading I was all, "how is that even possible?" Heh, I learned how that was possible!
-I also realized during the course of this book that Muir has apparently tapped into some deep and primal urge I have to be... utterly confused?? I spent almost all of the book being completely confused and loving it! though it was because I did trust Muir to clear everything up by the end. I feel like someone's review said that the whole book was like an extended trust fall (sorry, I forget who said that) and... yeah.
-the worldbuilding continues to be a weird blend of "watch how much I absolutely do not care about worldbuilding" and "watch how much I do care about worldbuilding" but bothered me less this time around because I'd had a whole previous book to turn my brain off in this regard
-I live under a rock so the memes didn't bother me, and I loved all the Biblical references!
( spoilers )
