I think part of the reason Nona the Ninth is so effective is that it comes AFTER GtN and HtN. You’v already spent two books immersed in this gory, gothic space opera, with betrayal, grand romance, sword fights, cannibalism! So when NtN presents you with a little apartment, with a little family, it feels uncanny. You KNOW what’s out there, you KNOW something’s going on, it HAS to be! So you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop, watching in uneasy tension as this familiar stranger walks a dog and chats with her friends. And maybe you get sucked into it, you forget about the maelstrom of murder and intrigue and ten thousand year old grudges, and live in this fucked up little found family in this war torn city, there’s a sort of comfort there, an undeniable love.

And when the shoe finally drops, and the rest of the world comes crashing in, you almost don’t want to remember anymore. But it’s too late, you remember now, and you can’t forget again, but it’s okay, that little family may be gone, but the love was there, and no one can take loved away.
