The third book in the series, Alecto the Ninth, is scheduled to be released next year. Harrow the Ninth is mind-boggling from start to finish, and it’s an electrifying sequel you do not want to miss. And on top of that, someone just keeps trying to kill her…. But the truth is that both her body and her mind are failing her. Fresh off of lyctorhood, everything should be going easy for Harrow. Harrow the Ninth focuses on Harrow training in the Emperor’s haunted space station to fight an impossible war. This brilliant, confounding, and heartstopping sequel will quench the thirst of the fans, but not without leaving a new set of mysteries to keep us hooked. Reading its sequel, Harrow the Ninth, now is like enjoying a nice, eventful walk… and then getting hit by a bus. I didn’t know that it would be one of the best books I read in 2019. I didn’t know it would create such an impact in my emotional well-being. When I read Gideon the Ninth last year, I didn’t know that I would be a wreck by the end of the book.
