I truly hope that the remainder of the series will be out in audio too soon! The narrator was new to me, but he did a fine job of narrating the story. Mitchell can write sex like nobody else and the tension she can create between characters is smoking hot! Highly recommend this and every other book in the series. The story may be a bit unbelievable, but it is funny and sexy and GFY/ straight guy virgins are my guilty pleasure. This may be the number one reason why I have read almost everyone of her books several times. I love how Mitchell is all about show instead of tell. He is manipulative and spoiled and yet, he is also sweet and so charming, that he wins you over. He is so incredibly annoying that you kind of want to slap him. They are real and flawed and, a lot of the time, kind of jerks. It remains one of my favourite GFy novels, where the GFY is actually done right. I have owned this book since it came out the first time, back in 2012 and I have re-read it at least 4 times since then.

It is the best way to hear someone talk and not do anything ever. If you really want to waste your time you should read this book. And anything not one shot has random things killing them like things falling from the sky and she gets credit for killing things 10 times more powerful than her while she just sits there and ponders the question of the universe and boys. Every thing that made her unsafe in the new world is one shot, yes one shot. noo… Fourth nothing happens 6 hours into the book. O look she leveled a mountain at lvl 6 and can nuke whole cities now on day 3! Yeah. I mean it was entertaining the first 5 min of the book but then it was just bad. AT lvl 10 her stats make her lvl 20 at lvl 50 her stats make here lvl 100, and so on. This MC, because she is naked is twice as powerful as any other being on the planet. Because you spend most of the book hearing about what should be done and nothing actually getting done. Second, I should have listened to the bad review of all stats all 3rd person all thinking and nothing happens ever. The Narrator made this book WAY better than it should have been.

Griffin’s backstory, choosing instead to consume myself with how Murder Inc. I would not have paid any attention to Duncan’s attempts at Mr. I would have totally gotten behind their cause (well, up to a point), allowing myself to get caught up with the momentum of the story. I’m relatively sure that when I read it as a teenager, I would have been all caught up in the social structure of the killer kids: they lure in a nerdy junior (the majority of them are seniors), they make her feel that she belongs, they complain about the teacher being too demanding. Of course, given that Duncan wrote I Know What You Did Last Summer, this intention was going to go awry, and it did. Griffin?! I hope not, because four particular students decide to play a prank on him and scare Mr. He doesn’t take late work, doesn’t accept mediocrity, insists that students think critically. Griffin is a high school English teacher who pushes his students to be excellent. Would time stand still the same way? Would I feel those little creepy thrills at the mystery? Would I be as enmeshed with a text in the ways I was when I was a teenager?Įssentially, yes. I might reread a book or two that I’ve enjoyed (cue Tiny, Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed), a lot of young adult literature, some poetry…I don’t want to veer too far outside of the familiar because I need a place to stand (or read, if you will), that is comforting. This type of reading is my self-care, I reckon. Griffin: Nearly As Good Now as It Was Then It is so central to the experience of reading the book that it can’t really be called an absence at all. Gideon isn’t simply absent in Harrow the Ninth-her absence is weaponized in the service of narrative. I won’t spoil the ending of the first book, except to say that it is so strange, its world so gleefully unstraightforward, that one of the biggest questions I had afterwards was whether Gideon would (or could) appear in the sequel at all. Harrow the Ninth is a book which looks at this advice, steeples its fingers together, and says, “Watch this.” It should be the antithesis to the first book’s thesis. It should break the rules of its predecessor. Fortunately, there’s plenty of advice to be had about doing it: The sequel shouldn’t simply be a continuation. It’s the sort of fact that’s brought up so often one might justifiably doubt the truth of it, but unless there’s an army of authors out there lying about how hard it is in order to provoke sympathy, it’s true. “Harrow the Ninth”-the sequel to “ Gideon the Ninth” and the middle book in the Locked Tomb trilogy-is, in the words of its author Tamsyn Muir, “a story about how absolutely nothing happened the way you thought it did.” One day, while painting her toenails behind a supermarket, she finds herself in the middle of a fight between two superheroes and it ends quite badly for the good guy. She knows it and has been keeping it secret from her family for a long time. Quick disclaimer: this review is going to be pretty ranty.ĭanny is a girl born in the wrong body. If Danny can’t sort through the confusion of coming out, master her powers, and stop Utopia in time, humanity faces extinction. Dreadnought’s murderer-a cyborg named Utopia-still haunts the streets of New Port City, threatening destruction. Between her father’s dangerous obsession with “curing” her girlhood, her best friend suddenly acting like he’s entitled to date her, and her fellow superheroes arguing over her place in their ranks, Danny feels like she’s in over her head. It should be the happiest time of her life, but Danny’s first weeks finally living in a body that fits her are more difficult and complicated than she could have imagined. But before he expired, Dreadnought passed his mantle to her, and those secondhand superpowers transformed Danny’s body into what she’s always thought it should be. Until Dreadnought fell out of the sky and died right in front of her, Danny was trying to keep people from finding out she’s transgender. Danny Tozer has a problem: she just inherited the powers of Dreadnought, the world’s greatest superhero.
