"Tamsin has knocked it out of the park again! I laughed. I cried a little. I didn't really know what was going on until I did and then didn't again! Nona and her gang were really just such a delight and the ever expanding universe Tamsyn is crafting well it just keeps being more and more intriguing to me. I really can't pick a favorite out of the 3. Gideon set such an incredibly high and eccentric bar. Harrow had fantastic plots and reveals (honestly I'm still whispering marrow around my house). And Nona finally started to really put the pieces, that I've been thing about obsessively, together!"
"This is the 3rd book in The Locked Tomb series. I liked it a lot better than Harrow but not quite as much as Gideon Even when I can't follow all the complexities of the plot I enjoy Muir's creativity humor and writing flair. Also liked that many of my beloved characters from Gideon The Ninth were reintroduced.
Please share your thoughts on this book if you have read it "

"I absolutely love the locked tomb series. Gideon and Harrow absolutely knocked it out of the park, so comparing any sequels to them will be difficult. I think Nona was a fun character, but I never really fell in love with her. She is very naive and childish (which I know that’s the point, but something that I tend to dislike in charters). However so many questions are answered and it was very satisfying to read, cannot wait for Alecto. Also many hilarious moments throughout."
"Oh Nona loml. Nona the Ninth is beautiful and heartbreaking. Nona herself is such an easy character to fall in love with, and you can be sure that she loves you too. Highly recommend."
