There’s more background given in this book on how this universe came to be, which is chapters that are interspersed with the actual narrative of Nona’s story. It takes place in a science fantasy setting where technology and necromancy coexist. Like the previous two books, it’s amazing and very different. “Nona the Ninth” is the newly released third book in Tamsyn Muir’s The Locked Tomb Series. Nona is a Different but Engrossing Novel in The Locked Tomb Series! Readers will be on the edges of their seats. Nona's lovely, simple, and occasionally silly voice works especially well in juxtaposition with the dark, dense backdrop of the series so far, creating a riveting contrast. Muir's skill is such that readers will be desperate to find out the truth of Nona's background but will still savor the quiet moments with this heartbreaking character. But whether she likes it or not, Nona's true identity is the key that shapes the empire, and with that empire in disarray, every force in the universe has their eyes on her, fixated on who she may have been and who she could become. She enjoys working as a teacher's aide, petting dogs, and hanging out with her squad of friends, and she has no desire to reckon with the world beyond her comfortable little life: the zombies, the resettlements, the giant blue sphere that hangs above her planet. Nona's been alive for six months with no memory of who she was before awakening in her new body. Muir tackles a new perspective in this characteristically brilliant successor to Harrow the Ninth, which offers a much more personal and tightly framed focus than the rest of the Locked Tomb series.
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.Īnd each night, Nona dreams of a woman with a skull-painted face.Īt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied. Their leaders want Nona to be the weapon that will save them from the Nine Houses. Blood of Eden forces have surrounded the last Cohort facility and wait for the Emperor Undying to come calling. A monstrous blue sphere hangs on the horizon, ready to tear the planet apart. Six months ago she woke up in a stranger's body, and she's afraid she might have to give it back. She lives with her family, has a job at her local school, and loves walks on the beach and meeting new dogs. “Deft, tense and atmospheric, compellingly immersive and wildly original.” - The New York Times on Gideon the Ninth “You will love Nona, and Nona loves you.” -Alix E.
