Luv this

Thx for tip at 7:10 on prismacolor premiere fine liner brush pens and how the pencil erasing causes pigment erasure leaving faded lines.

Missing your uploads, hoping you're just out enjoying life and all is well!

hopefully the 4th book won't take as long as winds of winter

Underrated cover

nice

Looks and sounds amazing 💚

Excellent and soft badass keep up the great work 🖤😎🔥🔥

Loved the costume! Nice voice <3

Great voice, Great editing! Well done!

Totally with you on so many counts! And just happy to know it is continuing… I did read rather than listen, which was super helpful. I constantly went back to the list of characters and to check details from previous books. After more wiki lookup, guess I will re-read as well

What are the odds of this popping up

Ur voice is so goooooooood😍🥰

I feel like I need a strategy guide to read alongside Nona the Ninth. I was so confused 😅 even up until the very end! And I just ended a conversation with my friend who got me to read these books saying "I swear I'm not a dumbass!" when discussing Nona 😂

I don't mean this in a mean way. The way you were lost the whole time is a good case in why sometimes books are better off read than listened to.

Sad Pug is my favorite

Is there a website where I can read this

1. Love that you donated these and bought them used! 2. I have only read the Extraordinaires, didn't enjoy it, and then immediately met TJ Klune. He talked about his experiences growing up and his sexuality and it was very interesting, but I had only read one of his books and absolutely hated the characters. It was a very odd moment as I was intrigued by him, but kept wondering how such a well spoken and passionate person wrote such a bad book.... 3. I also started writing this and immediately heard your take on Aristotle & Dante, and Fever Code and it hurt my feelings. Aristotle I don't remember very much because I read it like 5 years ago, however the Maze Runner series I think holds up as one of the best dystopias. I don't read teen-fic anymore and mainly rely on classics, but Maze Runner I still love <3

Here's to another 10 years 🎉🎉🎉

Fantasticcccc

So I just finished the third book and..... Ummmmm I would have to say I am exactly right there with you. I loved all the books but absolutely have no idea what is going on. I actually ended up on your video because I was looking for a video of someone explaining it and here we are🤷🏻‍♂️

Holy! I wish I still had contacts in the music industry to get you the attention you deserve. Well done!

This was so well done. Thank you for sharing! It’s nice to see you back to posting any content let alone such a variety!

Wow! Beautifully sung, great job! Thank you for sharing this, needed it today. Also, welcome back!

You should definitely read This Is How You Lose The Time War, it's worth all the hype! (Beautiful edition btw)

THANK YOU

Очень красиво :D

What I like about John's presentation in the series, is that in Harrow, you see him through her eyes, and Harrow has been a devout nun all her life. From an incredibly young age, she has been trying so hard to make up for the sin of her birth, the genocide her parents committed in her name at her very conception. And then after she had rolled away the rock, gazed upon the body, and in her view caused her parent's deaths, she felt like she had an even greater sin to make up for. So of course she looks at John and sees wisdom and gentle forgiveness and divinity at first. But then she is around him more, and by the end she realizes he truly is just a guy (if one with functionally nigh-omnipotence). And that's really what makes him so disappointing as a God: the fact that he isn't better. And then in Nona we see why, when he explains how he really was just a guy, who made mistakes, and made the wrong choices, and made a mess he didn't know how to get out of. (And of course the fact that he keeps making meme jokes that only he will get, exactly because of what he did, and he's sad about that but also enough of an ass to make a none pizza with left beef joke to comfort Harrow as she bares her every sin to him, just as a little joke to himself)

Where'd you go? 🥺

Im heating up hearing this. i dont know why. I love it! Keep it up! :P

Please, someone explain to me: #1: how Gideon's Body went from being in the possession of BoE (the body that refused to rot in As Yet Unsent) to being in the emperor's possession #2: how Gideon's Body got out of harrows and back into her own body at the end of harrow the ninth. Please. I'm so confused T_T

I learned things while watching this 😅 I definitely need a reread. I really enjoyed it and I think I caught about 65% of what’s going on - fandom and rereads are gonna have to explain the rest. But this is definitely shaping up to be one of my favorite series of all-time because I love books that are so rereadable.

かっこいいい！！！！Your voice is very nice!!! Your high tone voice fascinates me...

I recently finished Nona and I'm happy I found this! I can't get enough TLT content and it's good to hear from people who were also massively confused while reading

Doing a separate comment b/c different topic but on the subject of Paul I think I’d be really sad if I was Paul. Because yeah Paul is a New Thing and the narrative really holds on to that because Nona mourns the loss of Cam and Pal but like if Paul is this new thing born from both Cam and Pal I don’t think it’d be too much of a stretch to say that Paul also holds the love of their friends and family that Cam and Pal have together! Imagine seeing your friends and family mourn for the loss of You and you want to help them and say I’m here and I love you! But you also know that you’re not the You they’re mourning for. Paul has to start maybe not from ground zero but they do have to rebuild relationships with people that they already love and I think that’s heartbreaking.

On the topic of asshole Gideon, I think a large part of Kiriona being Like That is that’s how Gideon presents even in book 1 when you’re not privy to her inner monologues. Like yeah Kiriona has More Trauma*™ and being dead plus literally having no heart would make anyone bitchy but I’m pretty sure she was an asshole before that. Plus! She was a indentured servant, then she was a forced cavalier, she died for Harrow and in her perspective was rejected, died again and when she comes to her friends are talking about her like the only thing they want from her is her blood to open the tomb and not ya know, mourning. I am excited to see how Kiriona will evolve! Harrow is a bone witch that is suspiciously good at the heart after all. Or at least that’s what some people in the fandom have been saying I don’t have enough brain juice to have remembered that piece in the books. Nice video! I think the fandom needs more stuff like this because while I love deep dives I also want to vibe with people that also don’t know what’s going on XD

So, Jod is alive at the end of Nona. Alecto stabs him by way of hello. Also, he was the one who resurrected shithead Gideon, I’m pretty sure. I think AtN will just be Alecto kicking his shit in for a solid four hundred pages

4:54 houses as space stations is literally true at least in the case of the 6th

hello zimmy, how can i reach you for product sponsorship?

I love watching people un haul books as the books that you get un haul can be read and loved by someone else. Xx

100% agree on T. Kingfisher. I've loved everything I've read by her and she nails really unsettling cozy horror like no one else. I can't wait to read House Of Hollow. I just picked it up. I think Gideon the Ninth is a good mash up of Sci-fi and mystery actually. It even used the classic locked remote house murder mystery setting a la Agatha Christie. (I swear Murderbot hits in a way nothing else does. I've read them so many times now)

Love this! Thought I was off track but man, could be worst, hahaha

I am planning to get to Gallant this month!

I have heard a lot of good things about the Echo Wife! I've been wanting to read it because I really do like Sarah Gailey

horrorstor was funny and corny. i love grady hendrix, his books are more corny 80s horror

On the name, "Kiriona" is just "Gideon" transliterated (written as it is spoken) to Maori (which John uses like modern day New Zealanders do, which makes sense because he was one)

I loved Little Thieves, but I DNFed the Merciful Crow at like 75 pages I think. It wasn't BAD but it wasn't GOOD either. I liked the Ivory Key enough to finish it, but I don't think I would read the rest of the series. It is one I actually am giving to my niece along with quite a few other YA fantasy books that I ended up not loving lol

I love these books so much and understand them so little Me the whole time I'm reading them: "This is So Good!! ...I wonder what's happening?"

Hey! ASD person here as well. :) The Locked Tomb books always had lore. Whilst Nona certainly gave us even more lore than every before (and I lurved every. fraking. minute. of. it.) I feel the lore was certainly there from the get go and Harrow gave us a decent amount of it. Don't worry. I know what you mean though. The John segments were by far my favorite parts of the book!

*Nona Spoilers* I really loved the audiobooks for this series. The narration is sooo good with all of the different voices helong give personality to so many characters. But I think it's a double edged sword that may have contributed to some confusion since you can't super easily re-read a section if you're confused later. And there's definitely some intentional voice trickery like in book 2 where most of the book she's doing Harrow's voice for the narration and only changes it to Gideon after the reveal. One thing I really appreciate about Tamsyn Muirs character writing is that she lets things get really messy. It all feels very human. I was also pretty bummed when Camilla and Pal become Paul, but I felt comforted, strangely, because Nona was also sad about it. I think a weaker, but not bad, book would have had them fuse and then have Nona say "and Paul is a perfect representation of love". Instead Paul gets to speak for themself and Nona is allowed to feel mixed feelings about it, much like I did. And I really liked the John chapters. Partially for the Lore. But I also like hearing this stuff from John. Like, he's an evil emperor sure. But I think Tamsyn is really doing a good job of making him seem very human. Like, I think she's doing a good job showing how very human it is to make bad decisions when you're stressed or feeling trapped or whatever. It also kinda makes sense with how much Gideon kinda sucks in this one like you said. But I think rather than it being about her soul, it's because, as Nona says in one line, she's so deeply sad. I think a lot of the villains in this series are just deeply sad people.
