Oh god if Harrow ever returns to her body she’s gonna die again but this time of embarrassment. Everyone saw her bare face. She constantly held Camilla’s hand. Whoever possessed her kissed Gideon’s corpse because they felt like it. Corona gave her a piggyback ride.

Edit: I’m well aware Harrow’s soul gets returned at the end of the book, this post was part of my liveblog.

#I don’t think I talked about Corona here enough she’s doing so well in this book go off queen #but yeah anyway I think one or two of these things would be enough to do harrow in #never mind all of them #Nona liveblog #ntn spoilers #Nona the ninth spoilers #the locked tomb #tlt #harrowhark nonagesimus #ntn #Nona the ninth

Gideon the Ninth Reaction - Chapter 20

i just wanna apologise in advance for how long these posts are getting lol, i have a lot of Thoughts about this book

oh wait nope they are going back to the creepy lab where two people just got murdered. great plan guys

Dulcinea wanting to team up surprised me a little, but it really shouldn't have. she's been paying a lot of attention to the Ninth, and especially Gideon.

'thousands of years after you're gone ... is when you really live' this is such a different, almost warmer, perspective on death and necromancy, and i can see why it appeals to Dulcinea specifically, who's clearly had to come to terms with her mortality pretty early on in life. but its also part of the more disturbing theme that the past never really goes away, and can't help but view this line along the same lines of discovering the ancient study last chapter, and the ancient laboratory, and Canaan House in general, which are only just now having their secrets revealed, and the terrible consequences of those secrets becoming apparent, after thousands of years

'she grasped a railing, leaned over, and proffered her hand' well this is getting very courtly romance

ah yes lets go through the door decorated with a swirl of human teeth, i'm sure there's happy fun times to be had in there. harrow, resident goth interior designer who specialises in bone decor, is probably taking notes as we speak

even after hurting her hand twice, Harrow really just can't resist experimenting even further huh. she's so very reluctant to accept that her existing powers aren't enough by themselves for this

ooohhhh, having to literally suck the life force out of your cavalier to win?? thats so sick and twisted and i love it. these challenges are, again, clearly relying on this intense relationship between the pair, both in trusting them absolutely and in this literal soul-siphoning/melding link thing.

however, it feels like Gideon's really getting the brunt of it in these challenges. Harrow's absolutely putting in an awful lot of effort and power, but it's the cavalier who has to fight the bone amalgamation, the cavalier who has to have their life literally siphoned out. they're about trust and a bond between them, but also seemingly about a willingness to sacrifice your cavalier to achieve that goal, and i have a really bad feeling about where exactly this is going in terms of how exactly one achieves lyctorhood

'under no circumstances will i ever desire your juice' Harrow you may wish to revisit this sentiment when you guys (to my limited knowledge) eventually become girlfriends

'none of this is worth it, at all [...] i'm sorry. We take so much' i'm like 90% sure the voice talking to Gideon throughout all this was Dulcinea, largely because it doesn't really make sense for it to be anyone else, but there were certain lines, specifically these ones, that made me suspicious at first it might be some(one? thing?) else. but it also feels fitting that its Dulcinea coaching her through this.

wow, just wow, i'm really impressed with the writing in this chapter, and how the pain Gideon is feeling is expressed. its such an abstract experience/feeling to describe, but i think its done incredibly well

'Ha-ha, said Gideon, first time you didn't call me Griddle, and died' ok i know she didn't but THANKS for giving me an absolute heart attack with that sentence Tamsyn Muir

Harrow i get understand u are protective of Gideon but let Dulcinea comfort her plz

'you can't just ask someone why they want to be a Lyctor'. ahh the duality of Gideon the Ninth. this just evocative prose about how it feels to be on the brink of death, and then immediately afterwards hits you in the face with a mean girls reference. beautiful, iconic, effervescent.

Nona Liveblog. (1/5)

Because yes, I recorded it all this time.

Warning: THIS LIVEBLOG WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE BOOK. I have finished reading and am posting these notes after the fact. Therefore, it will also contain blurbs about things I missed on my first read. Please be cautious.

Once again, big thank you to @elexuscal for reading my rants and reacting with frustratingly vague emojis~

Spongebob Announcer Voice: They were not thinking hard enough.

Post-Book Thoughts: The frustrating thing is that the clues were THERE. It was in the last part of Harrow that we were given the clues about how it COULD work. And I still didn't-- sigh.

............all this effort, and there was still a hole in my head through which all the information drained.

This is the end of part one! I think the rest I will try to split up into DAYS, since this is the end of DAY 2. Cheers!

Theories Masterpost

[Previously Pinned Post]

Having just about finished my first GtN and HtN rereads, I am brimming with theories! Worldbuilding, characters, plot - so many.

For the sake of convenience, I'll break these up into multiple posts. They will be tagged #tlt theories, and presumably they will multiply and change as I make my way through Nona the Ninth.

Posts are in a queue and will post once a day, to give me time to update all the links and make sure the next post is ready to go out as planned. Once I finish the theory posts I will go straight into my NtN liveblog, which I assume will also be queued for convenience, at least until posts catch up with my reading progress.

Heads up, I have quite a busy time ahead of me so I can't make any promises on how often I'll update. We will see what the future brings.

For now: enjoy! And as ever, please feel free to interact, but no spoilers please!

“oh excuse me! i’m so sorry, i fell into your big strong arms during my coughing fit… i’m such a fool… oh you are- oh the cavalier of the Ninth, a tomb maiden! I can’t believe silly me was rescued by a shadow cultist! i am so thankful but so SO sorry, Lady of the Ninth, for falling in the lap dashing cavalier! i SWEAR it won’t happen again! How could i apologise to such a fault???”
