Just as engrossing and riveting as the first book in the series. Muir’s talent for characters and world building really comes into its own in this second entry, proving, as if there were any doubt, that the success of Gideon the Ninth was no fluke. The world Muir paints is so vividly weird that you can’t help but want more. Her characters are absolutely brilliant and her sense of timing and drama is unparalleled, I mean come on…the soup! (if you know, you know). Gideon the Ninth sparked an interest and Harrow the Ninth has fed an addiction, I NEED to know what happens with the last book in the series.
