so good. so, so good. more intense and darker than things i typically read, but definitely worth the foray for me. brilliant writing, engaging story, great characters.
I could write essays about how much I love this book. Gideon and Nona are both outstanding books, but Harrow changed me as a person. It's one of the best books I've ever read. I've never felt the things I felt when I finished it for the first time. Muir reminded me of what literature can do and why queer stories matter. Easily in my top five books of all time.
Waters has definitely improved her pacing skills since this book. It dragged on for me, to the point of unenjoyable. The twists were really great, and some of them were such a knife to the heart. I wasn't overly impressed with the ending, though I appreciated the glimpse of happiness they could have. Overall, not my favorite.
If you love it when characters are messy and dramatic and awful, you'll love this. The gods suck so, so bad. They're all petty and annoying. Neil and Alice carry the story in a cute way, though I didn't find extensive depth in their characters. I liked Phillips' take on a modern day mythology, and genuinely loved the end of the novel.
