But perhaps that’s the point, as the Harrow the reader is following in this story appears to be losing her mind.Įxcept not really? It turns out she’s haunted by a ghost that her mind has turned into a monster called The Sleeper. There are so many characters that come and go, die and then turn out not to be dead, it makes it impossible to know what’s real and what isn’t. Essentially, it all comes down to a continued war waged against a revenant planet that, if I’m not mistaken, was controlled by god the Emperor the whole time. ![]() The varying memories and characters make it a convoluted mess that’s hard to follow. Truth be told, I’m not entirely sure I understood what happened in this book. ![]() There’s a distance created with the second-person perspective that leaves both main character and reader detached from Harrow. ![]() However, there are points where the narrative seems to jump back to referencing the previous Harrow, which makes the second-person point of view all the more confusing. ![]() It seems like this is a Harrow from an alternate timeline and the original Harrow died. But this isn’t the same Harrow from Gideon the Ninth. In the second of the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir, we follow the story of Harrow. ![]()
