Harrow the Ninth, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling sequel to 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. Includes 40+ pages of original content, including a never-before-available Locked Tomb short story. Where Gideon the Ninth left me in a delightful drunken stupor, Harrow the Ninth proved to be a worthy and sobering successor.
Though at times messy, Muir makes us realize that sometimes we just got to get our hands dirty to get the real work done. Harrow’s tale is an ever-rotating tide of past told in unreliable third person, and present told in dreamlike second person that reflects the madness of her mind. However, instead of a mystery and action-packed story oozing with cheeky humor, we are presented the bits of the first book, smashed into millions of pieces like a mirror just as messy, distorted, and dangerous to handle.
