Working out whether you’ve met the character before and now they just have a new name, or if they’re entirely new makes the book quite muddled, makes the book feel entirely different to the first two.
Working out how many people are in one body is also a fun game to play. One of the hardest parts of this book is playing the sleuthing game to work out who everyone is. Not going to lie, that is kind of annoying and dampened my experience of this one. Nona being an unknown entity is both fun and exhausting, because we’ve spent two books getting to know Gideon and Harrow, only to have them taken away from us. I’m damn glad we’re getting another book because this one felt like it just ended and left us high and dry. Nona is cute, but I want some familiarity. Nona still had the fabulous quirky voice that the other two books have had, but the characters are so different they’re almost foreign. I’m really glad that for Nona the Ninth I swapped to a physical book (as opposed to audiobook, which I did for the first two) because my comprehension was waaay higher. I do really enjoy the books in this series, but everything after Gideon the Ninth has been a colossal effort to keep up with.
