tamsyn muir, waht is WRONG WITH you. what is. what is WRONG. IS wrong??? with you??????????
in typical muir fashion, she transitions seamlessly to a new POV character, leaves the reader mostly in the dark, and continually throws crazy world-building stuff that you didn't even know you wanted to know. but you did. <i> really </i> want to know.
essentially, this book answered many of the questions raised by Harrow the Ninth, but somehow ends up raising about a million more.
was harrow's soul in alecto's body or did it get transferred to the river, and is it now on earth having a chat with john, or john's abandoned once-human soul?? what's gonna happen to harrow's body? was nona the personification of the earth's spirit or was she alecto or was she alecto AND alecto is the personification of the earth? also, why is kiriona!gideon such a dick, and why is she friends with ianthe, sorta? who has her two-hander sword?? will tamsyn ever give us a griddlehark reunion that makes a lick of sense? will the next book have even more body/soul/etc swapping, and how is that even possible given the amount of bodily musical chairs was happening in this book? also, pAUL???????????????????????????
all i know for sure is that i am pre-ordering alecto right now and blocking off my calendar for the entire week of the release date.

Proper review to come when I have more time to think about this beyond expressing my opinions in memes.

The Blood of Eden's attack on necromancers comes with a lot of slur-like terms and bigotry that is reminiscent of (but not a direct copy of) religious bigotry in real life.nicnevin's review against another edition
