As long as you go in without expecting fancy things like being able to understand every detail of the action in a literal and straightforward way, it will treat you right. I doubt you even have a skin care routine right now”. Nona the Ninth is a deceptive book: Its sweetness hides teeth, and then its teeth hide more sweetness. Genres: Adventure, Fiction, Science Fiction, Space Opera. And each night, Nona dreams of a woman with a skull-painted face.
“You need some serious triage before I can do anything with you. 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.
“If he hears that yet another one of his duplicitous sluts betrayed him, he’s never going to come back from it”. “You always did remember the names of these extras”. “Things are frankly going to be antonyms of fine”. “How’s it hanging Hect? How’s tricks? Getting used to life without your necromancer? Going to parties, self actualising, reshaping your identity?” I listened to the audiobook and I think Moira Quirk’s Ianthe sneer definitely adds to how much I love her. Thus, here is a non-exhaustive list of some of her lines that had me dying. I loved the whole section when she’s trying to bait HarrowNona and when she doesn’t get the rise she’s looking for, she just spirals and becomes more and more vile. I found it a quieter, less jam-packed story, more accessible than Gideon and Harrow and more smoothly told. I feel like since she’s become top Lyctor, she’s really stepped into her bitchdom. Well, I'm going to tell those people who aren't here: Nona the Ninth is a success, but it's also not as ambitious as the previous books. So I’ve just finished Nona and I have no special theories or anything I just want to vibe with people about how much I fucking love Ianthe.
