![]() ![]() The world from her perspective at first seems like a simpler place, until the author uses her extraordinary abilities to imply much more than she says outright the reader is allowed to make connections much sooner than Nona. The character of Nona is the definition of innocence, but is never tipped over into naivete. ![]() While the action in Nona moves the story along at a good pace, it feels like a quieter book than the murder mystery of Gideon, or the intensity of Harrow. With that said, though, each novel has been entirely different, and Muir wastes no time in establishing Nona’s unique voice. ![]() ![]() This is a series where the reader does need to have read through the previous books to fully understand what’s taking place, because the overall story has been built so beautifully that to miss out on the context of the early books would be a true shame. Originally part of the third and final novel in the series, Alecto the Ninth, Nona was expanded to a novel in its own right after Tamsyn Muir found the story growing more than she’d planned – and seeing the results, it’s clear she did the right thing. Readers already familiar with the series will be thrilled, while new readers will find themselves drawn into a world of necromancy, mystery, and characters to love – or love to hate. ![]()
