I was totally expecting Ianthe to die because my immediate reaction to her eating babs was "you're a little gremlin, you're my new favorite until you inevitably die" and then she proved she was a smart gremlin and survived.

it's a shitshow in general. If I'm reading this right, when you're on desktop, click the [...] and there's a "Get Share Links" option that will get the links?

Here's the two you linked for people who don't want to use tumblr

Now I'm matching characters there.


Semi-mechanical Hades spoilers combined with major HtN spoilers.
Would Nonius or Cam be the Demeter, who shows up when you make it to Wake the first time?

Off the top of my head:

Favorite/Least Favorite House/Character/etc.

Interesting foreshadowing, like the part where they found the dead body in the furnace. as an example

When did they figure out the mystery, which leads into

The symbolism of Dulcinea's name/the makeup/being stripped bare, either metaphorically or literally.

"One flesh, one end."

Also, I just like the poem about the 9 houses, idk how much you can pull out of that.

Make everyone guess "who or what is the killer?" at 3 different points in the book and then everyone shares how wrong or right they were at the end.

Do that one

Ask at the beginning of the book "which character do you think would make the best sex pal?"

Both setting up the tone of the story pretty well AND a good groaner.

I think it's fine that there is subtext and I hope Muir doesn't feel the pressure to raise it into the text. It's good representation as it stands currently.

I sincerely doubt that fandom pressure will be the reason Muir raises it into text, should that happen.

Nona is about a friend you know getting super, super drunk at the club, and you’re sitting with him in the local McDonald’s at midnight as he tells you a bunch of incredibly intimate details about something you always wondered about, and you’re torn between wishing you were not in this McDonald’s and egging him on, because you know he’s really, really going to regret telling you all this when he’s sober.

Now we know.

I 100% expect the ending to be Jod in the tomb, tbh

I mean, the obvious joke is that the loss joke leads to Jod in the tomb, and his final words before he's sealed forever is "is this?"

I mean it's partly because the reaction to kissing Ianthe is pure unadulterated Gideon too.

It was announced a few weeks ago. There was a presale for Illumicrate customers or people who bought the black bordered Harrow from them.

I love this series because you can torment other people who have read it by making jokes in front of people currently reading it.

I just called Nona the most down to earth girl, and had three friends angrily PM me about it.

Also thought experiement: We already know Alecto's theme, but what are Nona/Gideon/Harrow's themes?

My favorite audiobook moment is late in book 3 Moira Quirk gets slower and sadder for the narration of Nona's disassociation on the bus, and then snaps right back into place at Paul letting her know Noodle is on the bus

Randomly rewatching tlt bullshit and run across this 90% accurate video

(It'd be 100% if it didn't imply Nona ate things that weren't erasers.)
