"Life is too short and love is too long"
I loved this. Harrow the Ninth is still my favourite of the series so far, but I loved Nona. Seeing the world through her eyes is refreshing and hilarious and heartbreaking. I love Cam and Palamades and Pyrrha and their little family. Muir writes about love and grief with a brutal delicateness. GtN is about love and duty and devotion, HtN about the grief love carries, and NtN combines both so perfectly.
This is a beautiful interlude between Harrow and Alecto, and I am glad this interlude came as a 500-page book of confusion rather than having to sacrifice some of this plot to fit it into another book. This book certainly won't be everyone's cup of tea, and it is very different from the previous two books. I loved it and can't wait to see what happens next.
