Great author/series but Nona is hard to follow

Love the characters but this one was just too hard for me to get into. Gideon the Ninth was epic and accessible. The sequel, Harrow, was a bit tougher but still possible to follow/sort out what was going on. After eagerly awaiting/pre-ordering Nona, I just found it really difficult to fit into the other stories for the most part. Still love the world that has been built, but hoping Alecto makes a bit more (or any) sense. There was too much to fill in here, in terms of technological/mythological underpinning. I’ve finished and I’m completely unsure what it was all about.

Needs more dogs

I am beyond pleased that Tasmyn Muir decided to give Nona her own full length story. Definitely worth the wait. Nona is bubbly and offers a beautiful, life-loving outlook on such a grim setting, which I think is uncommon for this genre and refreshing. Once again, Moira Quirk does an exceptional job of bringing to life not just the characters but also the tone as well, whether deeply sad or incredibly funny. And lastly, the plot tied my brain into a pretzel, which was nice.

Tough let down

After the slow drawn out mess that was 3/4s of the second book I really thought okay, that ending was good, now that all that drawn out stuff is out of the way this third book should really bring it home. I was wrong. The characters you’re interested in are gone, main characters are bums, and so damn annoying. Cool characters from the first book are neutered down into useless scrubs.

It’s frustratingly messy. You think it will make sense with more time, but when you get to the end you just think holy shit most of this book was unnecessary. So much whining and BS doesn’t amount to anything.

Sucks such a cool story had to go out like this.

Overall Incredible, but confusing

incredible, entrancing writing that dragged me into this world. but I kept getting lost in the switch between chapters.

Good overall but weak ending to a good series

It took a while to get going, but was far easier to follow than the last book. I enjoyed it overall. Although the ending itself was pretty weak, and felt like the author got tired of writing it at the 11th hour.

The Book Cover is Right

You WILL love Nona, and Nona will love you. Everything about this book is a wild ride and I loved every second of it.

Wildest yet

Every book in this series gets continuously more wild and insane. But the amazing characters keep me coming back every time!

Not great.

I'm gonna be honest. If Alecto isn't heads and shoulders above Gideon and Harrow, then I'll be exceptionally angry that I spent 18 hours listening to Nona.

Confusing but still great

I had to read a synopsis to fully make the connections at the end. I think the audio format makes it a bit more challenging to make those connections, because you can't just flip back and reread sections as easily. It was still a great listen, though!
