Harrow the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir

A Thing I’ve (re-)Read 11/25: Harrow the Ninth (Locked Tomb II), by Tamsyn Muir

The second time around this book continues to be an absolute fever dream, but knowing what’s coming (and maybe a few hours of wiki-binging beforehand) really did help to make a lot more sense of everything.
This does not mean the book is not recommended, but it features a protagonist of questionable mental health and in parts second-person narration, making the whole thing A Ride than can be hard to pierce together.

I also have the feeling that knowing what to look for made some statements stand out better.

Two down, one to go, Alecto when?

The cover of Harrow the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir. In the background the gray of a dead planet in front of stars, with blue veins across it and a blue star barely flaring across its lower edge. In front of that the protagonist, Lady Harrowhark, The Revered Daughter, a young women with short black hair and a skull painted on her face, clad in black garments, bones forming a ribcage over her chest, and a white coat slung over her shoulders. Across her back she carries a large, two-handed sword. Around her are rather less than more complete skeletons, skulls and bones pieces, floating around her and her outstretched hand.
