Our favourite necromancers-in-space series stops off for a break in a desolate city, in the desert of a world besieged by blue light. It reeks of … something punk-cyberpunk?-punk something as we’re treated to a hopeful story of a person called Nona, and her minders Palamedes-and-Camilla, and the ten-thousand-year-old Pyrrha. Nona the Ninth is tremendous-there’s maximum intrigue right from the start in true Muir fashion in the form of, we don’t know who Nona is and neither does she, though there’s rubbish meals, cool t-shirts, a dog with six legs and a looming Ressurection Beast. Nona would prefer to live an ordinary life with the people she loves, with Pyrrha and Camilla and Palamedes, but she also knows that nothing lasts forever.Īnd each night, Nona dreams of a woman with a skull-painted face… Their leaders want Nona to be the weapon that will save them from the Nine Houses. Blood of Eden forces have surrounded the last Cohort facility and wait for the Emperor Undying to come calling. A monstrous blue sphere hangs on the horizon, ready to tear the planet apart. Six months ago she woke up in a stranger’s body, and she’s afraid she might have to give it back. She lives with her family, has a job at her local school, and loves walks on the beach and meeting new dogs.
