Whats the book about?
After the disaster that was Canaan House, the newly born Lyctor Harrowhark the Ninth is struggling to survive on the Emperor's ship. Not only is her brain fucked up but someone is trying to kill her. To add to all this misery, the resection beasts are closing in and Harrows necromancy has decided to stop working as it should.
Whats my opinion?
This book made me ball my eyes out, a rare feat that only the Locked Tomb series had managed to do. The second person POV, while confusing at first ends up making so much sense that my jaw dropped. I loved following Harrow's messed up daily life and the dark humor introduced in Gideon the Ninth follows through. Overall i loved this book and if you loved the first book, you'll love this one even more.

Similar to the first part in the series, I spent about 60% of the book being confused but damn did I love it. And then things start to unravel and my jaw dropped so many times.
All of the characters are incredibly well crafted and have so much depth and complexity.
I’m continuously blown away by the author’s capability to give each character such a unique voice.
All in all, it’s a wild ride filled with adventure, mystery, action, fighting, death and gore but als love that defies all rules and realms.
I wish I could write a more eloquent review right now but my mind is still reeling.

I was originally going to knock my rating down for the first-time reader confusion I felt, but ultimately couldn’t deny how obsessed I was with every chapter. I can’t wait to read this series again in the future. I can’t wait to read the next book!
