Rand Brittain posted:I think it also works because the memes, in a way, are a deliberate register change. Gideon's manner of speaking marks her out as the "punk" in a world of gothic aristocrats, and so it helps her stand out without making the world seem inconsistent, because most other characters stay in their lane. This is spot on, and a primary reason why I identified Gideon as the narrator pretty early on in Harrow. This line in particular: quote:...for which you would one day jerk her white and beating heart from her colourless ribcage and eat it dripping before her. You did not examine eat it dripping as you maybe should have done. jumped out at me right away. It's unmistakably Gideon's voice — you're not going to get a "that's what she said" joke, even textually, from any of the self-serious goths that make up the rest of the cast. drat, what a fun and good series.
