Looking forward to Harrow the Ninth! Let me know if I should know the answer to any of these questions by now, or if they indeed haven’t yet been revealed by the end of Book 1.įor your first two Qs, the locked tomb is indeed supposed to be locked, harrow just decides that opening it is the baddest bitch way to kill herself. Why/when did Cytherea become disillusioned with the Emperor enough to turn against him? What did she already know and what did she only later find out that could have led her to do that?Īnd many others, but those are the main ones.Who is the girl in the Locked Tomb and why did Harrow decide to stay alive after seeing her?.Where did Gideon come from? Who is her real family, identity, etc.How did Gideon survive the nerve gas Harrow’s parents used?.What exactly was the Ressurection, and what did the Emperor gain by sacrificing the inhabitants of the First House?.What is the enemy of the Emperor powerful enough to kill Lyctors?.

Where are Camilla, Judith, and Coronabeth?.

Those are the two big things that really stuck out to me as not quite adding up, as well as all of the mysteries introduced at the end like: She also said she regrets not talking to her parents in that moment, which could imply that she didn’t tell them what she saw in the Tomb. Harrow, though, chose to stay alive, but views this more as cowardice on her part than an actual decision to stay alive, which she said she already made back in the Tomb. Why did Harrow’s parents kill themselves, and why were they preparing Harrow to die with them? Wouldn’t killing her negate the point of going to such great lengths to make sure she was born the way she was? The only conclusion obvious to me is that Harrow told them what she saw and they didn’t deem what they had done worth the cost of keeping the girl imprisoned there, resulting in the shame and grief leading them to taking their own lives. That implies an ulterior motive for ensuring Harrow was born a powerful necromancer, something likely to do with opening the Locked Tomb rather than keeping it shut. If the point was to keep it closed, why would they need a necromancer at all? Harrow asks Gideon to return to the Ninth House to guard it, but Gideon isn’t a necromancer.

Why does the Ninth House need a necromancer at all? Harrow claims that her parents sacrificed the 200 kids so that she could be born a necromancer, but later states that only a perfect necromancer could open the Locked Tomb. Two things stuck out to me as incongruous - would you mind telling me if I missed something, or if these are indeed questions I’m not able to know the answers to yet?

I’ll be starting Harrow the Ninth soon, but before I do I want to make sure that I’m asking the right questions and that I’m confused about the right things. Okay, I just finished Gideon the Ninth, and I really enjoyed it.
