Re: Based on the first secret

[silverr]

... I'm currently reading (and loving) Gideon the Ninth, and so I'm going to say snarky dialogue and unexpected-but-evocative turns of phrase ("The man who’d put the sword to her neck was uncomfortably buff. He had upsetting biceps. He didn’t look healthy; he looked like a collection of lemons in a sack." comes to mind).

Aww man I wasn't sure if I should reply to this as I *loved* Gideon and don't want to put you off the sequel, but the lack of snarky observations by a snarky protagonist is definitely one of the reasons why Harrow just isn't clicking for me as much. I also don't like Harrow herself as much in this one. Like, I didn't want nor expect a carbon copy of Gideon but so far I'm just not feeling the second book as much.

I'm about half-way through Gideon, and I'll still read Harrow even though I've already guessed the reason for the change (based on the vague comments people have been making); the worldbuilding and language are such fun.

Re: Based on the first secret

It did take me about 100 pages to properly get into Gideon so I'm keeping that in mind with the sequel! I'm still 100% interested in the story because of the things you mention and in no doubt I'll read the third book when it's out. The middle part of a trilogy often ends up being a weird actual half-way point anyway.

To be the opposite, I loved Harrow the Ninth. It's def a different breed of book from Gideon, and quite a lot heavier I thought, but Tamsyn Muir is still an absolute madwoman on a mission to make you go "oh no you fucking didn't" during it.
