"She answered the Emperor's call.

She arrived with her arts, her wits, and her only friend.

In victory, her world has turned to ash.

After rocking the cosmos with her deathly debut, Tamsyn Muir continues the story of the penumbral Ninth House in Harrow the Ninth, a mind-twisting puzzle box of mystery, murder, magic, and mayhem.

Ja... Det blir lite för mycket feberdröm över det hela för att den röda tråden i berättelsen ska kunna hållas intakt. Lite som att försöka hitta "lösningen" eller "poängen" i någon av de mer bisarra filmerna eller TV-grejerna av David Lynch. Samtidigt välskriven med intressanta karaktärer, vilket gör att boken ändå fixar en trea i betyg. Men jag är inte överförtjust i det här überkryptiska berättarsättet där framtid, dåtid, nutid och all sorts sammanhållning bluddras ihop till någon sorts LSD-tripp. Hoppas på lite mer stringens i uppföljaren Nona the Ninth, alltså mer logik som med första delen Gideon the Ninth.
