But even I know that a lot of these things didn’t happen that way. Even for me, and I have a terrible memory. The crumblingness of the House.īut it’s wrong. With Abigail Pent, Magnus, Ianthe, and all the rest. These harken back to our days in Canaan House, with Teacher and the weird skeletons. Interspersed amongst the Second Person POV chapters are chapters that are in Third Person. There’s no one way that a Resurrection Beast looks. They try in Harrow, but it’s so disjointed because they’re all so different. There are the Resurrection Beasts, that are never really described because they’re just too terrifying. So we have these creatures, the Host, going around and killing everyone. But I can’t Google that because I’m on a tablet. I think there’s actually a bug that does that to hives. They clamp onto a ship, buzz their wings, roasting you. The Host of insect-things, space bees, murder wasps. There’s a big war, as I think we already knew from Gideon’s novel. You’ll have to read it to find out what name he was given by Tamsyn Muir. I mean it’s just too bizarre to put down here. He has another name, but I’m really not gonna spoil that for you. We get to meet new faces: the Lyctors and God. Like a sheared-off tooth that’s been worn smooth. It was jarring, in the best way, but you learn to get used to it. The narrator is telling us what we did as if we were Harrow. About half of the book is in Second Person POV. The bit that stood out right away was the POV. Sorry if I spoiled it, but I did tell you to go read Gideon before you continued with this review. Gideon, as we know, died at the end of her volume. The varied characters and their personalities and various weirdness. Go read it first, before you move on.Įnjoy it. I’ll try to keep this Rambling Review spoiler-free, but I’m assuming if you’re reading this review of Harrow, that you’ve already read Gideon. We’re still waiting on Alecto the Ninth, though I haven’t seen a release date yet. Including those above, I also own the First Printing (with black sprayed edges) and the Ninth Printing (with a red cover) of Gideon.

Here is the newest bit of my Locked Tomb collection: the paperback Gideon and the Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of Harrow. I’m writing this review because I want to. Though Harrow the Ninth, the second book in the Locked Tomb series, doesn’t come out for another two weeks, I was gifted a copy from the publisher, TorDotCom.

Recently, it came out in paperback, just this July 7. It came out last year, in September, and birthed my love of space necromancers and the bones they conjure. Anyone who knows me knows I loved Gideon the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir.
