Thanks for catching this - when reading and listening to it in book, it always felt familiar but I couldn't place it. Dunno if this is the intended "source" but it's 100% the same vibe.

I think it's weaker than the other two but I could still enjoy just spending time with the characters, plus getting a look from outside Jod's empire. It does feel a bit stretched out, though that makes a lot of sense given it was the first act of Alecto that just kept expanding on Muir. I'm willing to forgive a lot at the moment, though, because I just tried to pick up Wheel of Time again and before I was fifty pages into a book all urge to read just slid completely out of my brain and dribbled out my ears.

My current ranking is Harrow, Gideon, Nona, but I still adore the book, it's just up against...two of my favorite books. Like, Nona compares pretty well to a lot of other sff I've read in the last decade, just doesn't blow them away like Harrow does, and wasn't the pure unadulterated joy reading Gideon for the first time was. I'll also say Harrow was not my favorite the first read, or the second.

The major tone change with Harrow prepared me for another tone change with Nona, and then Nona wasn't as mystifying as Harrow either so I enjoyed it more. I have Gideon as my fav, followed by Nona, followed by Harrow.

I didn't appreciate the ghost plot of Harrow enough the first time around because I was very confused and thought the ghost was Alecto. But it had a bunch of other cool stuff that I loved so Harrow is still my favorite and then probably Gideon then probably Nona but Nona will move up when I reread them all again Harold Fjord fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Jul 28, 2023 |

Nona didn't jump around chronologically and "x days until the Tomb opens" wasn't quite as "what the gently caress is going to happen" suspenseful as "x days until the Emperor is murdered" so it's a bit less of a mindfuck of a story Harrow also has that eureka moment when you, the reader, realize she did a find-and-replace in her brain and for me nothing in Nona quite matched that I really liked Nona though! She and Noodle are my friends. FuturePastNow fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Jul 28, 2023 |

Harrow is my favorite of the three but I appreciate them all greatly. It’s like trying to pick between which piece of the Neapolitan ice cream I like best.

it's totally a highdea but I was thinking about narration in books. GtN was third person, HtN was second, Nona was third person as well but that book was mostly a happy little accident and also had a limited omniscience narrator I think so maybe that's also counts for changing narration? I wonder if AtN will be first person

Just read Muir's short story, Undercover, and it's definitely a must read for fans of her work. Hoping she'll flesh out the world further and give readers a bigger bite. Folks have any recommendations for similar writers?

Similar is such a difficult task, I find her writing so unique. For stuff kinda maybe in the same vein I'd suggest The Dawnhounds, by one of our very own thread posters and also a NZ author And Saint Death's Daughter, which very much works in the necromancers are loving weird space

I recently started Seven Blades in Black and the main protagonist hits pretty similar to Gideon. Edit: The audiobook's narrator is also pretty good, though it's hard to beat Quirk. Reclaimer fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Aug 7, 2023 |
