Both can be done in just about any setting, from small towns to ancient cities to outer space. All opinions expressed are my own.Horror and fantasy are genres that run together very well.
Thanks to Tor.com and #NetGalley for making this book available for review. This complex series deserves to be fresh on your mind before moving forward. If you read those, do yourself a favor and reread Gideon and Harrow the Ninth first. If you haven’t read the whole of The Locked Tomb series, do that first. To my fellow readers, let me offer you this piece of advice – read Nona the Ninth. It’s the sort of emotional roller coaster that only Tamsyn Muir could pull off. Nona the Ninth is a bold and fascinating addition to this series. Readers will have to do a lot of reading between the lines here, but doing so will allow them to understand the whole picture – and every horrifying implication that comes with it. These Dreams seem to be telling us an ancient story of immediate relevance. Much of it is told through her perspective, though other details flow through her dreams. Now there’s Nona, and she is a story all of her own. Then Harrow, full of mystery and determination. It just so happens that Nona the Ninth is the ideal continuation of this story.įirst, there was Gideon, full of personality (some would call that description too kind). Words cannot express how amazing the entire Locked Tomb series has been. Words cannot express how amazing Nona the Ninth is. But I was still unprepared for what I found in Nona the Ninth. Because, wow! I knew Nona the Ninth would be a brilliant read – it would take all of our expectations and twist them into something wholly unexpected and compelling.
Can we just stop everything and give Tamsyn Muir an award? Right now, please. Though it probably helps that she doesn’t know what her allies hope or expect from her. Nona doesn’t find it as frightening as everyone else. The giant blue sphere hovering over the planet is hard to ignore. Okay, there is one current event that has caught Nona’s attention. But Nona would prefer to focus on her friends, family, and her impending birthday. Nona could be concerned with many things, such as the return of the zombies (aka the necromancers) or that her city is under siege and about to tear apart. But hey! One more book for this brilliant series! Nobody is going to complain about that.
Nona the Ninth was a bit of a surprise for us readers, as we had been expecting Alecto the Ninth. That’s right I’m talking about the third novel in The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. Is it really that time? I’m not sure I’m emotionally ready for this, but you guys know I won’t be able to resist the temptation.
