Never try to read a Pratchett ebook. Overdrive screws up the * * * transitions and it's always jarring to switch scenes between paragraphs with no warning.

I mean these print copies don’t really have any delineation. Just a empty line between them.

The ebooks have no indication at all, it's a real nightmare.

I will be honest I’ve read it 3 times now and I’m still not sure what exactly happens at the end of Harrow.
Who is the person living in a city with Camilla Hect? i’m leaning toward “Gideon’s body but there’s no spirit inside”
Did Harrow’s spirit literally traverse the River all the way back home to the Locked Tomb?
Where did the people who grab Harrow-Gideon come from?
I’m not worried though, I’m sure it will all be explained in the first ten pages of the next book.

I gotta say, so far I don't like Harrow the 9th as much as Gideon the 9th.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Not that anyone has said anything too egregious as of yet, but, please be careful around talking about Gideon/Harrow.
Many folks like me are still working through the series.
Again, folks are generally being quite good on this front, but now I know to expect something pivotal in the back third/quarter of Harrow. Which again, not huge, but just asking folks please err on the side of caution regarding spoilers. Thanks!
I just wish that I could read the version of Gideon/Harrow that people in this thread seem to be reading. I like the books well enough. I thought that in a year without A Memory Called Empire Gideon should have won the Hugo, and I think that Harrow would be my pick for the Hugo this year. But man, my appreciation for those books is a pale shadow of what these forums seem to feel for them.

Editor, Carl Engle-Laird said:
“At every step, The Locked Tomb Series has been a wild, weird, exciting, and surprising journey, and the process of concluding the series couldn’t be any different. Tamsyn Muir and I were as surprised as anyone when Nona arrived, bursting forth from Alecto the Ninth with an irrepressible energy and presence. She could not be contained, and demanded her own volume. And what a volume it is! Nona the Ninth will be a Locked Tomb novel like no other, and I’m very excited to share it with you. Look forward to meeting Nona, as well as a pack of rabid children, a menacing blue sky-circle, and at least one extremely good dog.”

I had thought Alecto was Fall 2021 and I was so excited to read it in the next few months.

Disagree. I like Gideon better, but I think Harrow is a great example of "fuck the readers, we're in bat country" from a tonal shift perspective.

I just finished Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.
And god damn, what a book.
Spooky gothic haunted house with an unhealthy dose of Lovecraft mixed in, with some of the most evocative imagery I have read in ages, just absolutely springing to life behind my eyelids. And then on top of it being an exemplary horror story just in its own right, it's also sharp toothed critique of colonialism, the history of medical science (read: eugenics), and institutionalized sexism. Which is what horror should be, of course, but rarely is it simultaneously so acutely delivered and so pleasurable in the reading along the way.
Just absolutely incredible, please go read this book.

Harrow spoilers
Ok, I feel real stupid right now. I knew Ortus the Lyctor was not actually called Ortus. I knew that since a while back. I also had figured that Harrow had done something to her head to make her forget Gideon.
I somehow did not put two and two together that this would mean that fucking ORTUS was actually named GIDEON. Especially since I knew fuck all of what to do with the fake-flashbacks-that-weren't-flashbacks-at-all.
For the record, they haven't actually said that his name is Gideon yet. Mercymourne just started a rant about "Gideon on her tail" and it fucking CLICKED in my head and I Audibly, AUDIBLY, said OH GOD DAMMIT

I have ideas and some have been correct, but given the whole
thing it's hard to say concretely about anything just yet
I mean these print copies don’t really have any delineation. Just a empty line between them.

I wonder if its just the library system books. The regular ones I have off of Amazon I didn't have any issues parsing "chapter" POV changes.

I think I disliked it, almost hated it, until maybe 75% in. Now it's one of my favorite books.
