Every one of these absurd installments is instantly the most ridiculous and intoxicating thing I’ve ever read. Nona is an absolute joy, but so is literally everyone else. There’s no distance between the reader and even the tiniest side character; everyone is rendered in exquisite humanity.
As someone who needs to know and understand and pick apart everything around me, I’ve never been so blissfully confused. The puzzle this series presents has me in a chokehold and shows no sign of letting up. It was truly insane of me to read Nona when we don’t even have a whisper of a release date for Alecto, but here I am, nonetheless, vibrating in the afterglow of another masterpiece. This will perhaps be the only series worthy of, not only rereading, but doing so as soon as I reach the final page of the story; an accolade I never thought possible to bestow.
Until then. 💀⚔️🩸
