"You can't take loved back" 😭😭😭😭

Reread review: I can't believe some ppl don't like this one bc it barely has Harrow and Gideon but if anything it just shows that Muir is a talented writer, she can write a compelling story without hanging on you being attached to the characters already. Same with the genre, Nona is still space opera but more domestic and coming of age story wrapped in. Or at least Nona is trying SO hard to have a coming of age story and not the horror space opera. I also loved the John sections, I'm obsessed with what a mundane antagonist God is. He doesn't mean to be an antagonist he just makes a lot of shit and selfish decisions, he is so real. Also the way the world ends is a bit terrifying in it's realism

I can see why Nona caused Tamsyn Muir to write a complete additional book in a series. She really is that special. The blurb on the cover is completely accurate - I do love Nona, and I know she loves me, too.

Proper review to come when I have more time to think about this beyond expressing my opinions in memes.

Resisting the urge to relisten to this audiobook right the fuck now.

Tamsyn Muir, if I ever meet you, I'm challenging  you to a fight to the death for subjecting me to The Locked Tomb series.
