nona the ninth is kinda like what if the world was so new and delightful and full of wonder. what if you lived on the brink of the apocalypse and destruction was imminent but you just felt lucky to have people caring for you every day. im into it

#gtn is fairly precious with its worldbuilding but there is this pretty clear sense of a post apocalypse setting + generalised dread #and htn really pulls back the curtain re: the space colonialism by placing us in the middle of it and of course there's augustine speech #and then to have nona give us this totally new way of seeing the world again (i'm maybe 20% in i have my ideas abt who nona is)#bc there's nona's narration and then the audience's knowledge/awareness of the violences at all edges of the text oh it is quite good #every locked tomb book is it's own little universe.#the locked tomb
