I did not know what to expect after the crazy ending of Gideon the Ninth, but it was not starting out in second person POV. I had just scuttled a book that did the same thing (often mixing first and third in the same paragraph, but I digress), but Tamsyn Muir did it right. I was hooked. When we last left Harrow, she had been rescued by the Emperor who had asked her a very important question. From there we are off into deep space travel as Harrow tries to fix her fragmented memory, understand how she fits with the Lyctors, and what the future means. We jump back and forth from third to second person narration, showing another version of what happened with the Cohort. It 100% should not work, but it does. It feels seamless in the novel and you can’t help but be picked up and carried away with Harrow as she puts herself back together.
