Interesting, I connected to certain parts more than others. Some of the language is really beautiful, I think the poems were my favourites. I think I could spend more time with this and get more out of it, it’s very nuanced. As usual though, I like Simpson’s thoughts.
Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

It switched to second person, which I didn’t love, and because of something in the previous book, my favourite character wasn’t there. It just wasn’t the same storytelling as the last one, as I expected.

I quite liked this one up until about halfway through or a bit before. I liked Maria and hearing about her life and her thoughts. And then it became a lot about her doing drugs and alcohol a lot and that was less interesting to me. Halfway through, there’s a new character introduced and Maria is left behind for a while, and I liked that even less. The ending left much to be desired.
