a publié une critique de Nona the Ninth par Tamsyn Muir

Tamsyn Muir: Nona the Ninth (Hardcover, 2022)

Her city is under siege. The zombies are coming back. And all Nona wants is …

Nona the Ninth

This Is How You Lose The Time War

The first quarter reminded me of Doomsday Book and One Day All This Will Be Yours, and the last quarter reminded me of that Iain M. Banks book (I won't say which one because it would spoil either this or that if you haven't read both, but go read Culture (except for Consider Phlebas)).

The prose was everything I've come to expect from Max Gladstone, and now I'll have to try something else by El-Mohtar.
