This book was a challenge for me, I really enjoyed about 75% of the story, rest I was really confused. This book reminded me of the Twilight book New Moon where the most interesting character Edward (sorry team Edward) is gone for over half the book. I will give Tamsyn Muir credit, she made some bold choices in this book, that challenge and frustrate the reader for a decent payoff at the 65% mark. There’s a reason for the confusion but it did not have to take almost 65% of the book. The main story is really good, but it’s really difficult to know where you are, the bounce around space and time. This book is is one of the most confusing that I have read in a while. Harrowhawk learns some cool tricks with necromancy that are the highlights of this book. Harrowhawk takes the leads in this one, which was good, but her character is no Gideon, and I missed her raunchy smart snappy dialogue. The best part of Gideon was the love hate relationship between Gideon and Harrowhawk that have to work together or they could die. Harrow was the necromancer and Gideon was her cavalier (swordswoman). Harrow the Ninth is book 2 the The Locked Tomb trilogy. Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir is a the sequel to the excellent Gideon the Ninth.
