5⭐️ review - Was there ever any doubt this would be a five-star read (my first and so far only five-star book of the year)?
.
I re-read Harrow the Ninth and finished right before my pre-order of Nona arrived, and I’m glad I re-read Harrow for two reasons: 1. I enjoyed it even more the second time, because I knew what was going on and could appreciate Tamsyn Muir’s construction and plotting; and 2. I felt like I was picking up on all sorts of little hints and bits and pieces of information in Nona that I might not have otherwise.
.
I do think my eventual re-read of Nona will be like my Harrow re-read (in that I’ll probably enjoy it and get even more out of it on a second reading, where I know what’s happening / what’s going to happen in advance). But I loved being back with some familiar characters (even if the world was somewhat unfamiliar), and in fact going into this with no hopes of understanding what was going on made it easier to just lose myself in Nona’s story, rather than trying to constantly figure out the puzzle.
.
I do have some spoiler-y thoughts in my review on my blog, so you can read more over there! But I’ll wrap up here saying that I couldn’t put this book, down, loved it, and cannot wait for the next (and final) book in the series!
