> One of my favorite things about the locked tomb is that you just absolutely cannot predict where it’s going. The first part of Nona (found in one of the previews) is labeled with “5 Days until the Tomb Opens” and I’m over here like “what the fuck does THAT mean??” Literally it straight up tells you that the tomb opens in 5 days and I still don’t know what that means. If Nona turns out to be Alecto that’s amazing for me and everyone else who thinks Nona is Alecto, but what then? Literally what happens when we find out who Nona is. What happens when the tomb opens.

> Also where is this series even going????? How is Alecto the Ninth going to end literally what ending is this series heading towards. I have no clue. Will we get a Griddlehark happy ever after? Does John die for real? Does Alecto do…something? If anyone has theories about how the series will end please share them because I have no idea. Despite that, I’m sure that whatever end we get, we’ll look back to page one of Gideon the Ninth and be like “oh my jod tazmuir is insane she foreshadowed the end of the whole series on page one and we were all too stupid to see it.”

> Tamsyn Muir made the most unpredictable series ever and yet she foreshadowed everything perfectly. There’s a reason Act V of Harrow the Ninth is my favorite section in any book ever. It connects the insane, batshit crazy plot of Harrow and wraps it up in a nice bow. What I guess I’m saying is that Tamsyn Muir could tell us straight up how it ends and nobody would get it until it actually happened. This series is absolutely 100% unpredictable until tazmuir pulls it all together in the end and I love it.
