Harrow the Ninth

Harrow is a walking trauma ... an unreliable narrator? Yeah
But in this case so utterly unreliable that she alters our memories of what came before, and that by quite alot—which, not for nothing, is a BIG swing on Muir's part, and one that she pulls off, not gracefully, but with devastating brute force. And also somewhat hallerious in my opinion.

The book's universe revolves around a galactic empire ruled by a god-like emperor and eight noble houses.  After ten thousand years of uninterrupted rule, the eight Lyctors, representatives from each house with demigod powers who serve directly the emperor, are depleted.  There are only three left, and so a new group was educated to take their place.  In the first book, only two of the eight representatives survived to achieve the status of a Lyctor: Ianthe and Harrow.  They join the emperor and the surviving three Lyctors on an isolated space station.  At first, they hide from the nigh unkillable Resurrection Beast, and later they prepare to fight it.

So to the more detailed or serious part of this rewiev. (That I feel will be complicated and confusing to read) The narriation style, it is written from both a third and secound pov, which is honestly confusing. Like super confusing. And to make it even worse the ending has some first pov aswell. Like ye, that is confusion. Like I mean it makes sence it is writen like this when thinking back. Like it is all written from Gidion pov and at first she sits there like a silent creature. But after awhile she gets more presence and starts to talk more just to Harrow.

There is also the still everlasting thing taht the author somewhat feels like he is trying to scram and push too much into that are supose to be vauge but at times just gets confson. Like it is already confusing enough with all the magic and tecnology and having to think of that and undertsnad it. Just the flashbacks can at times make it even more confusing.
I mean dont get me wrong I do LOVE this book. Like it is so close to beig a 5 star. Just not totally yet, as this narriator thing did bug my brain at times.

But the stroy, OMG how I just love the overall story of this book so much. And the cara thers are even better. And the idea, like how can it even be thought. Like it is just so good and I feel kinda all weird and somehwt empty now after having read it. So yes, it is awsome.
