wait wait so harrowhark and lobotomy ginger were never officially a thing? because i swear i’ve seen posts with screenshots from the book where they were a thing. also who is nona. gosh i really need to read this don’t i 😭

i very very very much do recommend reading it yes!!! but i will do some further explaining

right so gideon and harrow’s relationship is very complicated and unique, like they love each other in profound ways but they were never “officially together” but their relationship is intense and complicated?? its kind of difficult to explain their dynamic adequately. its kinda like

NONAAAA i love nona :) but also nona the ninth (book 3) is like a whoooole other can of worms from the first two books, like it focuses on very different things. nona in relation to all the other stuff i’ve explained is like her own person who sort of got dragged into this, because here’s what happened: at the end of book 2, for reasons once again, harrow’s soul sort of vacates her body, and nona’s soul takes its place. the other characters don’t know who nona is because she doesn’t really remember anything from before being in harrow’s body, so it’s like. she is a preexisting soul of somebody else, but she doesn’t remember that, so in a way she’s also a separate person altogether
