Vox-mark vox-mark vox-mark vox-mark vox-mark (Yes, this does mean Muir has written a second Locked Tomb book in a row in which the protagonist’s memories have been altered or erased in some way. Her name is Nona, she has no memories, and it’s unclear if she might be Harrow, Gideon, some combination of both, or someone else entirely. With Nona the Ninth, we meet the entity currently inhabiting Harrow’s body.
As Harrow the Ninth ended, said body appeared to be in the hands of badass swordswoman and certified babe Camilla Hect, and it was unclear who was animating it. Gideon, who died at the end of Book One, was possessing Harrow’s body. Harrow was deep in the purgatorial afterlife space known as the River. When the Locked Tomb series left off, our protagonists Gideon (sweet jock) and Harrow (goth princess) were in separate places, both in ambiguous states of aliveness. More Catholicism than you might expect! Two lesbian princes facing off. A found family trying to get their sweet problem child to eat. A 13-year-old named Hot Sauce who’s the best cool girl gang leader you could expect to meet on any planet. Notable vibes of Nona the Ninth: Dogs being good.
Instead, I wade peacefully into every volume with the knowledge that I am going to experience some lesbian necromancers in space, and otherwise I exist in a blissful state of “head empty, just vibes.” At this point, with the third volume Nona the Ninth in my hands and its predecessors Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth on my shelves, I have made up my mind not to try. I have never fully understood the plot of any of the books in Tamsyn Muir’s gutsy, gory, glorious Locked Tomb series.
