Она ответила на зов Императора.

Она прибыла к нему со своим искусством, своим умом и своим единственным другом.

Победа обратила её мир в пепел.

История некромантки Харроу из Девятого дома превращается в умопомрачительную шкатулку-головоломку, полную тайн, убийств, магии и Хаоса. В залах дворца Императора Неумирающего всё не так, как кажется, а судьба галактики возложена на плечи одной женщины.

I managed to read 16% of this book because I’m deeply masochistic. I managed to stop reading this book because I realized that I love myself I’m too old to struggle through obtuse writing, waiting for an actual plot to kick in.

Ja... Det blir lite för mycket feberdröm över det hela för att den röda tråden i berättelsen ska kunna hållas intakt. Lite som att försöka hitta "lösningen" eller "poängen" i någon av de mer bisarra filmerna eller TV-grejerna av David Lynch. Samtidigt välskriven med intressanta karaktärer, vilket gör att boken ändå fixar en trea i betyg. Men jag är inte överförtjust i det här überkryptiska berättarsättet där framtid, dåtid, nutid och all sorts sammanhållning bluddras ihop till någon sorts LSD-tripp. Hoppas på lite mer stringens i uppföljaren Nona the Ninth, alltså mer logik som med första delen Gideon the Ninth.

When a book starts with a cool sequence, and then swaps to the actual beginning of the story, it's usually a sign that the author and editors know that the beginning is boring but don't care enough to fix the pacing. It's the case here.

DNF because why would I inflict this on myself? There are good books to read.

It’s like if David Lynch wrote lesbian sci-fi fan fiction and I love it.

To me, this book feels like Muir wrote 3 books in-between Gideon and this, that's how much more confident this one's structure and writing feels. Whereas Gideon felt experimental and somewhat messy (in the most generous reading of those words possible), requiring me to commit more effort than I'm used to to pull me through it at times, this one had me hooked from the start, excellently paced, spinning threads that felt convoluted without requiring me to re-read fragments to make sure I'd understood what had just happened, and with a explosive last third or so that made me stay up at night reading through to the end. Loved it and can't wait to see where the series goes next.

Sep 2022 reread: yep still great. Onto Nona!

The first two thirds slightly annoyed me, in the last third it finally made some sense. Would have given this 3 stars if not for the very unexpected dad joke. 😄

I spent the first third of the book confused about what was going on, the second third putting some of the clues together and the third getting a whole other bunch of questions to ponder. This is not a complacent sequel or rehash, it builds on Gideon while telling it's own story, with some glorious soap opera moments and dad jokes throughout. So good I'm probably going to reread Gideon now to see what I missed.

I found this rather less impelling than the first volume, but it's still a very good read. Harrow is revealed even more unpleasant than the first volume might have lead you to think. In fact, most of the characters, other than Gideon, are pretty awful. God is clearly evil, pressing unwanted cups of tea on everyone. Will there be cucumber sandwiches?

Update: having run out of books, I reread this one. Apparently, Muir holds that the narrating voice who second persons Harrow is Gideon. This seems very unlikely, as the voice is very different from that of the narrator of the first volume, and we later discover that Gideon, although she's in there somewhere, was only semi-aware of what was going on, and therefore unlikely to be able to give the fairly detailed report which we read here.

Muir offers Harrow redemption, and although she seizes it, slobbering pitifully over …

Kill us twice, shame on God.

Wow. This book was a trip.

As I try to gather my thoughts and emotions into something coherent, I realize that whatever rambling attempt at coherence is possible will inevitably come at the expense of spoilers. So. Many. Spoilers. I find it impossible to talk about my impressions without mentioning all the big twists and bigger reveals. So I guess I'll just say: this was a wild ride, Harrow's mind is about as dark a place as I expected, the worldbuilding and mystery plots here are even better than in book one, and the storytelling techniques the author applies are devious.

If you start reading Harrow the Ninth and wonder if you're reading a sequel to the wrong novel, please just keep reading.

Also, can I please have book three right about now? No? Damn.
