tbh I didn’t even like reading the first 60% of harrow the ninth, since I detest second person narration, but my god do I admire the way tamsyn muir worked with her medium to make you FEEL gideon’s absence, to make you ACHE for her to be back in the narrative… and the twists?? I adored gtn for how it handled worldbuilding, feeding you scraps and pieces in the most natural way, and does it pay off in htn when surprises come naturally from learning piece by piece, which even the characters are doing with us at this point! this book is such a lesson on novel writing
