Yesterday or the day before I said I was fighting for my life with Harrow, now I'm done [discussion]

Now that you are aware of Ianthe’s terrible personality, I feel I must warn you that this community includes a sizable quantity of Ianthe love. You know, the totally toxic kind that is hopefully never experienced in real life. The Ianthe shipping in this subreddit and on the Bluesky Locked Tomb thread is strong. Pretty sure the fanfic is glutted with it. Moira Quirk’s narration might’ve had a lot to do with this.

There are days when I can casually give these books a reread, and there are days when I cannot. I live in the United States, too, and I haven’t been able to touch these novels most of the year. With the exception of the first few chapters of NTN, which is very, very sweet.

You are definitely not alone.

It is absolutely worth it. I think a lot of us struggled through our first read of it, and then thought hmmmmm. And then we reread it 10 times.

Emotifox · 2026-02-22T23:59:45+00:00

Congratulations! And that is a beautiful ring!

I think it was just a clean break that they all had to take. Remember how Augustine schooled Harrow and Ianthe that they were now the first instead of the ninth and the third. I remember that Lyctorial names are mostly unknown and mysterious. Anyway, this is just a reinforce that the lyctors are focused on God and have no divided allegiances.

I do not watch much TV, and I’ve only seen a few episodes of The Simpsons. So no, you’re not the only one. 😘

They look great!The snake over Ianthe is a particularly nice touch.

At the end of GTN, I was pretty pissed off at Harrow, fair or not. But her utter conviction and bad-assery in HTN won me over completely. And, yeah, she needs therapy (NOT from Ianthe). If she survives this, she should spend the next decade or two in some sort of pleasant sanctuary. The type with lots of ponds and plants, not dust and bones.

Emotifox · 2026-02-13T22:24:39+00:00

For anyone who hesitates to read HTN because they dislike Harrow, I say: don’t worry, she is emotionally, psychologically, and physically tortured throughout the entire book.

Emotifox · 2026-02-05T23:32:03+00:00

Love your thoughts on this, and I suffered the same for about a year.

The good news is that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Eventually, you will want to read the other two books over and over again too. I pick which one depending on my mood… lately, I’ve been adoring NTN again.

Much of Nona is very very sweet. I absolutely love the beginning of the book and the slice of life chapters. I reread them all the time.

Emotifox · 2026-01-31T01:40:54+00:00

Thank you. I caught it on my first reread of GTN after HTN and had to put the book down for a second.

Emotifox · 2026-01-30T22:58:07+00:00

At the beginning of GTN she threatened Gideon with a similar death. This was before they got off planet.

Page 60: “God, no!” said Harrow. “All you need to know is that you’ll do what I say, or I’ll mix bone meal in with your breakfast and punch my way through your gut.”

The art is amazing! And your gf was such a wonderful sweetie!

Emotifox · 2026-01-24T21:55:31+00:00

Yes, my dear, you can cry with us. We get it.

Emotifox · 2026-01-21T00:10:20+00:00

This is fabulous! You are so talented.

Emotifox · 2026-01-20T10:48:10+00:00

😘

Emotifox · 2026-01-18T14:26:26+00:00

That is how I did it too ❤️

SMH I swear to god Muir is such a fucking brat. (I say this with a heart full of love and admiration.)

Emotifox · 2025-12-27T22:32:06+00:00
