## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding
*by R***N on 17 June 2024*

It's probably best to re-read Gideon and Harrow again before you start with Nona, as key characters reappear, albeit sometimes with different bodies, names and genders. Muir often takes a Gene Wolfeian approach to narrative where key events and people are obscured, even to the extent of, in one thread of the story, naming characters with just their initials. If you enjoy puzzle-solving then I'm guessing you'll love this, if not you might find it frustrating. But the joy of Nona the book is Nona the character, a true innocent thrust into Muir's dystopian universe of religious warfare and necromancers, and a wonderful contrast to the very serious events that everyone else in the book is living through. A completely unexpected addition to the Locked Tomb series, and very highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not an easy book to like or read but incredibly powerful
*by G***E on 23 September 2022*

As with many other reviewers I’m struggling to classify Nona. It’s at once horribly mundane yet eternally tragic, a haunted family in a bombed out city, that skates just a little too closely to current events.If Gideon was a love punch in the face, and Harrow a crazed descent into mourning this feels like a bewildered new child has entered the world.If your desire to fully understand the story trumps your sense of attachment to the 19 year old newborn at the heart of this story you won’t enjoy it and you may give up. If you can persevere it will be both magical and frustrating and you’ll be begging for Alecto to arrive.Gideon fans might be appeased and frustrated in equal measure.I’m still not sure I like this book, but I appreciate it as work of wonder and power, and I would expect a Hugo nom as a minimum. In tone and obscureness it reminds me very strongly of Ancillary Justice.Read it and give it a dozen chances, you may not fully enjoy it, but I defy you not to be impressed, how did a series that appeared to be pulp horror SciFi end up as bonafide literature?Bravo Tamsyn!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Baffling, but absorbing.
*by P***. on 18 October 2023*

I'm a bit conflicted about this book. Normally, to like a book I need to understand what's happening - or at least, to know what happened when I've finished it. With Nona the Ninth, while I was reading I wasn't sure and when I'd finished it I was no clearer.Some of that I put down to it being a while since I read the earlier books in this series. I loved Gideon the Ninth, and Harrow the Ninth - though there were times in both that I lost the plot a bit (literally). I remembered enough of them to make some of the connections, but I think I must have missed a lot. And even with them, I suspect there's a lot of stuff that I still wouldn't have got.But I just kept reading anyway.Tamsyn Muir has an amazing way with words - and with scenes - and backgrounds - and world building - and especially with characters. In spite of feeling most of the time that I was missing things, I still kept going, caught up in the wonder and mystery of what is perhaps the most original SF (or fantasy? The boundaries are a bit blurry!) series out now.So, four stars instead of five, because I would have liked a little more clarity. But when another 'Locked Tomb' novel comes out, I'll buy it. Who knows, perhaps I'll understand more next time?But, baffled or not, I'll still want to read it.
