Again I find myself of a couple different minds on this book. This book so far has the most consistent reading narrative. Personally, however, I find myself caught in that space where I'm not interested enough in the writing to want to read the book, but I am interested to see where the story goes, and if my speculations are correct. To that end, I did find myself more interested in the secondary narrative of John's over Nona's.
It took a bit but Nona did grow on me, and I have to applaud Muir for what feels like a very adept portrayal of kids. ( )
First off, this book is amazing and I can’t wait for what comes next. SECONDLY your books make me feel INSANE Tamsyn!!! First with Harrow, I was so confused I thought I really forgot what happened in Gideon. And then in Nona I really thought I knew what was going on but you only supplied me little bread crumbs that I ate up and then BAM. And holy moly cow was I surprised and so happy.
I like Muir's writing, and i'm invested in this series, but I'm not entirely sure what I was reading, and at no point did I really feel like I understood either the plot of this story, or how it was contributing to the series. The far past details were useful context and gave some of the world building, but I'm not sure how much value there was for me in that context.
It is, however, very pretty writing, and that alone was enough to keep me going. I don't need to understand if the writing and characters are interesting. ( )
I am distraught. I just wanted my ladies to find peace. Now I'm stck with Jod and Paul and what happened to Noodle? I probably need another read through. I definitely need more time to stew.
