I've decided that the ninth house is obvious built into the lunar pole, and as evidence 1) it takes them only an hour to get to earth and 2) what better locked tomb for earth. Pluto and Ceres never made much sense, beyond the connection between Pluto and hades and death. Go forth and spread this canon. Otherwise: Mercury - 6th Venus - 7th Earth - 1st Luna - 9th Mars - 2nd Ganymede - 3rd Titan - 4th Europa - 5th Triton - 8th

Hrm......... Hum. Hm. Isn't Dominicus mentioned as a tiny, tiny dot from the ninth house? Wouldn't it be rather bigger and sunnier from Luna?

silvergoose posted:Hrm......... They live in a creepy skeleton hole and don't leave. What do they know about how big stars are supposed to be. Also because they live in a very very very deep hole even if they happened to line up with the solar elliptic the hole would only see Dominicus directly for about 3 seconds during a perfect eclipse every few hundred rotations They're probably just seeing the sun in a mirror over the hole, making it much smaller, mirror sized.

Even if the hole is a mile across the "unimpeded" view is still a massive telescopic lens effect. Once you get the Jupiter the sun is no longer a "bead" it is at best a dot, which is why Ceres remains the #2 location, as it's not much further out than mars. At Pluto it's a point.

Doesn't he talk about shoveling dirt into his mouth and trying to choke it down during the climax of his own little story? I took that as him trying to do just that.

I finished Nona yesterday! This series is so much fun to figure out! I’ve been having a blast reading whatever I want to without concern for spoilers. I really hope Alecto finishes concludes the story. I appreciate when stories and before wearing out their welcome.

Wildtortilla posted:Nope and this is the first I’ve heard of it. It's in the paperback version of Harrow the Ninth IIRC. Which is kind of annoying. I already plunked down the money for a hardback but if I want the new story I need to buy the book again in paperback. Presumably if I had any decent willpower, I'd just wait until the books were in paperback so I could get the extra stories. But I do not have decent willpower, so I'll donate Nona the Hardback to my local library and get the paperback version when its available.

Yeah as much as I adore The Locked Tomb and everything to do with it, I find Tordotcom Publishing deeply frustrating in many ways, and "including extra material to try make you buy multiple copies" is one of them. It's such a naked cash grab.
