once-a-polecat:

Proper reading order for The Locked Tomb series:

1. Gideon the Ninth.
2. Reread Gideon the Ninth now that you know that redacted is redacted.
3. Harrow the Ninth
4. Reread Harrow the Ninth because you’re not entirely sure what the hell just happened. (Repeat if necessary.)
5. Reread Gideon the Ninth now that you know that redacted and redacted are redacted’s redacted.
6. Reread Harrow the Ninth while you wait for Nona the Ninth to come out.

Mine went like:
1. Read Gideon the ninth
2. Read HtN in two days to see if it fills the new hole in my heart.
3. It didn’t so I try to forget the books
4. It passed on it’s own, but now i want to feel it again, start reading other stuff so I can forget them
5. Run out of patience and read tlt again
6. start rereading both of them every few months
