5/21/2023 0 Comments Ich bin Harrow by Tamsyn Muir![]() ![]() Seriously awesome, because the coolest thing about it was that we got to see it all and experience it all through the aviator-shaded eyes of Gideon Nav, unwilling cavalier of the Ninth House, who kicked ass, took names, always had a dirty joke handy and so loved her icy, genius Ninth House necromancer, Harrowhark Nonagesimus, that (spoiler alert) she ultimately gave her life to turn Harrow into a Lyctor - a kind of superhero bodyguard and magical ghost assassin working at the right hand of the undying God-emperor of Muir's expansive, creaking world. She created a crumbly, dusty, deeply haunted and wonderfully goopy horror-universe with Gideon the Ninth, peopled it with creepy, sepulchral wizards, dipped it all in the reverential tones of quasi-Catholic religious fanaticism, wrote it like a science-fantasy parlor romance full of murder and then gave it to us, still warm and dripping, like a cat bringing home a particularly juicy mouse.Īnd it was awesome. ![]() ![]() Last year, Tamsyn Muir absolutely owned the lesbian-necromancers-in-space genre. You know how sometimes people say, It's like everything you loved about the first book, only MORE. ![]() You don't have to read the first book in this series to dive right into the second. You know how sometimes people say, Oh, it's okay. ![]()
