What an interesting and innovative third installment in the Locked Tomb series! I love getting some more in-depth lore and worldbuilding while also seeing some familiar characters from a new perspective. So much of the events in previous books have been recontextualized. Muir has a definite sense of humor and likes to slip in little pop culture references. She adeptly balances those lighther moments with the weight of intergalactic implications and a sense of mystery that kept me guessing until all the little pieces clicked into place at the end. I loved Nona and can't wait to see what is next for her and the rest of the cast. Alecto can't come soon enough 😭
