What this book is about
The third Locked Tomb novel follows Nona, who lives in a body that isn't hers in a city under siege. Muir pivots the series into a different register — more intimate, stranger, and genuinely funny in places — while building toward revelations that recontextualize the entire trilogy. Demanding but deeply rewarding.
