These absolutely live up to the hype. They are bananas in the best way possible - each one has such a different voice, style, tone, structure, but I adore them all! The first book, Gideon is a brilliant locked-room murder-mystery in space starring the best personality clash I’ve read all year - a jock-warrior-girl who just wants to live a carefree life as a fighter,and a burdened-brooding-ultra-serious last-of-her-line necromancer - and it WORKS. It’s enemies-to-lovers, sort of, except not really? I know I sound glib about this one, but the absolute aching beauty of their relationship when they become close is brilliant. And then the second book, Harrow, goes right from the shocking end of book one into an almost stream-of-consciousness, unreliable-narrator ride where neither the protagonist nor the reader know quite what is happening (very purposefully) and the paranoia is justified… it couldn’t be more different of a tone, but it’s amazing. And then Nona, the third book, is utterly different than either of the previous two, starring a cheerful teen who goes about life blissfully not-quite-aware that she is pretty much in the middle of an apocalypse-dystopia… and you just fall in love with her immediately. These books could not be more different, but they are all just SO GOOD.
