I can't say I enjoyed this one as much as Gideon the Ninth, but I think I enjoyed it more than Harrow the Ninth.
I vaguely wish I'd gone and re-listened to the first two, but I don't think I missed much by not going back to re-listen. I likely will for Alecto the Ninth.
I did appreciate that there was more world building/filling in going on in this one, though I'm relatively tired of the flipping back and forth between plot lines that's been the style of the last two books. That may be an effect of listening to the book rather than reading.
Moderate: Cursing, Death, Gun violence, Suicide, Blood, Murder, War, and Injury/Injury detail

On a related note, I think it's an incredible achievement that Muir split this book off from Alecto the Ninth, where it was supposed to have just been the first third-to-half of the book, without making it FEEL like an incomplete story. Maybe part of that is down to how different Harrow felt from Gideon, setting us up for each book to be a slightly disjointed story about different but related characters within this world. Either way, nothing about this book is a disappointment, and the split point isn't as jarring as they often are when books are torn in half like this.
It's hard to say much more than that without spoilers. I'm so pleased with how this one played out, even with the questions I don't feel have satisfactory answers yet, and I'm looking intensely forward to Alecto.

- I really don't want to give away too much, and honestly how could one even condense the plot of this series into a caption, but know that like the previous books, NONA THE NINTH is both purposely opaque and wonderfully funny.
- Honestly, it's a bit too long and you can kind of tell that it's part of one book split off into its own story. And yet, I couldn't put it down and loved every minute. I already can't wait to reread it when the time comes to prepare for ALECTO THE NINTH.
