It's been a couple of years since I last visited the Locked Tomb series so I decided I'd give Nona a listen. Nona lives in a turbulent city with Cam and Pyrrah who look after her. She's friends with a bunch of local kids from school. But there's something a bit different about Nona...
- Not quite as confusing as Harrow the Ninth but Nona still took a while to make sense. This might be due to the gap in reading but also seems like Muir's writing style too. She throws out the tidbits of info in a seemingly random way then brings them together(ish) for the end.
- Nona was super sweet and I loved her naïve view of the world and how things worked. I particularly liked how she interacted with the other characters and her foray into friendship.
- We meet some familiar (and occasionally hidden) faces from previous books. I did enjoy how those characters have changed due to events and how they move forward.
I eagerly await Alecto the Ninth after the epilogue of this book. A worthy entry to the series.
