Tamsyn Muir's New York Times and USA Today bestselling Locked Tomb series continues with Nona ... the Ninth? In many ways, Nona is like other people. She lives with her family, has a job at her local school, and loves walks on the beach and meeting new dogs. But Nona's not like other people. Six months ago she woke up in a stranger's body, and she's afraid she might have to give it back. The whole city is falling to pieces. A monstrous blue sphere hangs on the horizon, ready to tear the planet apart. Blood of Eden forces have surrounded the last Cohort facility and wait for the Emperor Undying to come calling. Their leaders want Nona to be the weapon that will save them from the Nine Houses. Nona would prefer to live an ordinary life with the people she loves, with Pyrrha and Camilla and Palamedes, but she also knows that nothing lasts forever. And each night, Nona dreams of a woman with a skull-painted face. ...… (lisätietoja)
Again I find myself of a couple different minds on this book. This book so far has the most consistent reading narrative. Personally, however, I find myself caught in that space where I'm not interested enough in the writing to want to read the book, but I am interested to see where the story goes, and if my speculations are correct. To that end, I did find myself more interested in the secondary narrative of John's over Nona's.
It took a bit but Nona did grow on me, and I have to applaud Muir for what feels like a very adept portrayal of kids. ( )
First off, this book is amazing and I can’t wait for what comes next. SECONDLY your books make me feel INSANE Tamsyn!!! First with Harrow, I was so confused I thought I really forgot what happened in Gideon. And then in Nona I really thought I knew what was going on but you only supplied me little bread crumbs that I ate up and then BAM. And holy moly cow was I surprised and so happy.
I like Muir's writing, and i'm invested in this series, but I'm not entirely sure what I was reading, and at no point did I really feel like I understood either the plot of this story, or how it was contributing to the series. The far past details were useful context and gave some of the world building, but I'm not sure how much value there was for me in that context.
It is, however, very pretty writing, and that alone was enough to keep me going. I don't need to understand if the writing and characters are interesting. ( )
I am distraught. I just wanted my ladies to find peace. Now I'm stck with Jod and Paul and what happened to Noodle? I probably need another read through. I definitely need more time to stew.
