This book was a mess. I finished Gideon the Ninth and went straight into Harrow excited to read more. Then I saw it's in second person and got very worried because I very much dislike second person writing; it's boring, in my modest opinion. Funnily enough I didn't mind it at all.What I did mind (read: hate) was everything else. Erasing Gideon for the most predictable reason is by far the worst decision ever. The confusing, boring, aimless plot is on par.The ending came out of nowhere and included a literal “teleports behind ‘Nothing personnel kid' “ meme. I hated this book. The extra star is for the one twist that I didn't predict which amounted to a “hm, that's cool” reaction from me. Can't wait for [b:Alecto the Ninth 39325106 Alecto the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #3) Tamsyn Muir https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png 60943284] to be written in future tense and for 3/4 of it pretend like nothing from the first two existed.
