Nona the Ninth

by Tamsyn Muir

Our rating

Spice 0/5 Darkness 3/5

Spice: none. Darkness: dark.

Nona is a cheerful girl with a missing past, living in a city under siege with people who are very worried about her. Warmer and odder than the other books, and the God flashbacks finally explain a lot.
