Harrow the Ninth

I feel like any time I read a book from The Locked Tomb series, my head is always left reeling from all the ish that goes down before it ends.

I spent a good chunk of time being confused by this book. There are times when the story is told from the second person and times when it’s told in the third person POV when Harrow looks back on past events.

The focus of the story is on Harrow’s experience as a new Lyctor and her training on how to battle the Resurrection Beasts. One interesting bit is that a good chunk of Harrow’s memories are missing and you’re left wondering what happened to cause this. Someone is also trying to kill her which doesn’t help.

This is a book rich in necromancy, so heads up for all the bones, gore, and body horror. Prepare to be confused 75% of the way through by the way, until everything breaks loose and you’ll be so dizzy with all the information Muir throws at you.

I was very satisfied by a couple of things I predicted but there was no way I could have guessed where the heck the rest of the story was going to go.

To summarize, it’s confusing but also trust the process because it’s worth it and what the heck is happening but also HOLY SH- I’m on an rollercoaster and HOW COULD YOU END IT THERE.

All in all, a great time.
