Hopefully it’s just series sophmore slump

Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

November 24, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Potentially unpopular opinion ahead: I did not especially like Harrow the Ninth. I loved Gideon the Ninth, but I don’t think all the narrative experimenting and the pacing worked out well here. After Harrow becomes a Lyctor and Gideon is gone, about 85 percent of the Harrow the Ninth is confusion. The narrative switches between second and third person (there’s also some first person but that is mostly later) and neither voice really knows what’s going on; on the one hand, this makes sense because […]

I’m Dad

Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

October 31, 2022 by Emmalita 3 Comments

I really have nothing thoughtful to add to the Harrow the Ninth discourse. I tried to start it immediately after I finished Gideon, but it was difficult for my already over-stressed brain to focus on so I abandoned it. But I always intended to return. A couple of weeks ago a friend encouraged me to pick it up again saying, “there’s a scene that will blow your mind.” Adam was correct, there was a scene that blew my mind and I haven’t stopped thinking about […]

Absolutely and wonderfully bonkers read

Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

September 15, 2020 by Aquillia 2 Comments

Bolstered by all the delightful comments on my Gideon the Ninth review, I thought I should try to put my thoughts together about Harrow the Ninth, the sequel. SPOILERS FOR GIDEON THE NINTH FOLLOW! Really. It’s impossible to talk about Harrow without talking about the end of Gideon. It doesn’t just follow chronologically (sort of), but the impact of the ending on Harrow informs the entirety of her story. So… wow. I am so impressed by author Tamsyn Muir, who took her sure-fire hit–where one of the main things […]

Gloriously Deranged Insanity

Harrow The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

August 9, 2020 by LittlePlat 10 Comments

Sorry, but it’s nigh on impossible to discuss this book without mentioning the endgame from Gideon The Ninth. You probably shouldn’t be picking up this book anyhow if you haven’t read Gideon. And if you have read Gideon, perhaps give it a bit of a re-read before embarking on Harrow The Ninth. You will thank me later. This book enjoys being tricky Man, this was one of my most anticipated books of the summer. After the wild ride that was Gideon The Ninth, I was […]
