justkevin@wyrms.de reviewed Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
Ultra strong characters, all flawed to the bones
5 stars
Just recently I had a discussion with colleagues of mine where I said that I can't stand books where the main character is a man and just awesome at everything and ultra powerful, because he is the man man. No flaws, no failures only pure masculinity.
And in stark contrast there is this book, which is full of strong characters, and they are all so flawed, and I love it. In addition, by the end of every chapter I thought I finally knew what was going on and predicted what was happening next, only to be utterly suprised by the next chapter. It was again a book where it was hard for me to put it away at night, and where is was longing the whole day to be finally back to bed so I could read further.
