Her city is under siege.
The zombies are coming back.
And all Nona wants is a birthday party.
In many ways, Nona is like other people. She lives with her family, has a job at her local school, and loves walks on the beach and meeting new dogs. But Nona's not like other people. Six months ago she woke up in a stranger's body, and she's afraid she might have to give it back.
The whole city is falling to pieces. A monstrous blue sphere hangs on the horizon, ready to tear the planet apart. Blood of Eden forces have surrounded the last Cohort facility and wait for the Emperor Undying to come calling. Their leaders want Nona to be the weapon that will save them from the Nine Houses. Nona would prefer to live an ordinary life with the people she loves, with Pyrrha and Camilla and Palamedes, but she also knows that nothing lasts forever.
And each night, Nona dreams of a woman with a skull-painted face...

Did you know that cows have best friends and complex social relationships? Did you know they watch sunsets? Or even that they exhibit mourning behaviour for other cows? No? Well, those are just some of the things you'll learn in Nona the Ninth. But you might say: 'I thought this was a book about necromances lesbians in space? And it still is! Talk about versatility.
Never expected that God would be my favourite in a book series, especially when this God in particular is named John, but that's honestly one of the least surprising things in this book. Everyone absolutely DELIVERS as a character, whether making me laugh like a maniac, or cry like… also a maniac.
It was so nice to see old characters as well, and how they've grown since we last saw them (can you tell I'm trying to be the least spoilery I can?), but there was a whole cast of new characters to bring us joy, such as Hot sauce, Honesty, Born in the Morning and Kevin.
Another thing I absolutely loved but don't quite know how to articulate was how queer this book was. Yes, the previous two books were quite queer as well, but this one just grabbed gender and told it to fuck off. It was brilliant how the author balanced and played with gender all throughout, and not once did it feel confusing or 'too much'. It made so much sense for these characters, and for the world they live in, and I'm so happy to see a book that treats gender as casually as this one does, but still gives it its proper spotlight. I wish more authors felt comfortable playing with gender in this way and I hope to see a lot more following in Muir's footsteps.
I know this book was meant to be Act I of Alecto the Ninth, and it truly peaked my interest as to how the Quartet will resolve, but it was such a dramatic change to our usual programming I felt as if there was something lacking (also I understand why, but this is the third book we're being kept in the dark about essentially everything, and it gets a bit tiring after a while), which is why this book didn't quite reach 5 stars for me.
See you on the next ones, and in the words of someone I love terribly:
"Get in line, thou big slut."
God jokes are the best!
