oh, gideon... i will say this was a super slow read for be, but the last quarter-ish really had me locked in! lotssss of world building, characters that you fall in love with or love to despise, a confusing yet intense plot, lots of magic and swordfighting and amazing dark fantasy vibes. if it weren't for the learning curve i had to go through to understand wtf was going on in this book, it would be a solid 4.5/5!! i am fully obsessed with harrow as a character and will definitely be proceeding with Harrow the Ninth shortly:):)

One of the first queer lit books I read that wasn’t even remotely queer (in a good way). Being gay was at once core to and irrelevant to the characters and instead of contributing to or juxtaposting the plot it just was. 

One of the few books I’ve read where I had to physically shout HOLY FUCK during it.

Right now I have it a 4.75 and I’m not entirely sure where the deduction comes from. Maybe the gore? Maybe I’ll change the stars later
