I started Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir this week. The first book of the series was on my bingo card last year, and I'm hoping this one helps me understand the hype better. I suspect I'm just the wrong demographic to find the series better than sliced bread, but I am still enjoying it so far. Harrow is definitely more experimental in structure: some sections are second-person, some are out of order, and some are clearly not real, though whether they're dreams, hallucinations, or memories of alternate timelines, idk.

I also read the Gideon the ninth last year and I will soon read harrow. I will finish the poppy war and then last and first men before I read harrow.
