توضیحات

Harrow the Ninth, the sequel to the sensational, USA Today best-selling novel Gideon the Ninth, turns a galaxy inside out as one necromancer struggles to survive the wreckage of herself aboard the Emperor's haunted space station. “Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space! Decadent nobles vie to serve the deathless emperor! Skeletons!” —Charles Stross on Gideon the Ninth “Unlike anything I've ever read.” —V.E. Schwab on Gideon the Ninth “Deft, tense and atmospheric, compellingly immersive and wildly original.” —The New York Times on Gideon the Ninth She answered the Emperor's call. She arrived with her arts, her wits, and her only friend. In victory, her world has turned to ash. After rocking the cosmos with her deathly debut, Tamsyn Muir continues the story of the penumbral Ninth House in Harrow the Ninth, a mind-twisting puzzle box of mystery, murder, magic, and mayhem. Nothing is as it seems in the halls of the Emperor, and the fate of the galaxy rests on one woman's shoulders. Harrowhark Nonagesimus, last necromancer of the Ninth House, has been drafted by her Emperor to fight an unwinnable war. Side-by-side with a detested rival, Harrow must perfect her skills and become an angel of undeath — but her health is failing, her sword makes her nauseous, and even her mind is threatening to betray her. Sealed in the gothic gloom of the Emperor's Mithraeum with three unfriendly teachers, hunted by the mad ghost of a murdered planet, Harrow must confront two unwelcome questions: is somebody trying to kill her? And if they succeeded, would the universe be better off? THE LOCKED TOMB TRILOGY BOOK 1: Gideon the Ninth BOOK 2: Harrow the Ninth BOOK 3: Alecto the Ninth

Good but confusing to follow with names!

So I loved this, but I do want anyone who reads it to go in with a few warnings: 1. Do NOT try to read this if you haven't read the first one.2. Even if you have, and recently, assume the first part is going to make you feel deeply confused and honestly, possibly stupid. You're not. It will come together. There's a touch of insanity first. 3. All your questions are not going to be answered by the end. Many will. You will have fantastic guesses on a few others. You will have no clue on a few more. One of my friends, who read the first on my recommendation, was eagerly awaiting my finishing this one so we could talk about it, because there's a lot to talk about. Like the first one, this is legitimately funny, dark, and bizarre. It's also strangely compulsive--you will find yourself picking it back up whenever you have enough brainpower to devote to it. I'm looking forward to the third one in the series, but I'm going to want to reread the first two before I start the third because apparently I missed a lot of really neat stuff early on that I didn't realize was important. It's rather beautifully connected, this series, and I'm extremely impressed.

I...found this book very difficult. I'm not a fan of 2nd person perspective, and so much of this book was written that way. I also feel like there wasn't nearly enough world building or explanation for what was going on. It wasn't until the last 1/4 of the book that anything began to make any sense. I'm struggling to see why people enjoy this series so much, though I will read the third book in the hopes of something making sense.
