Nona the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #3)
Tamsyn Muir
Her city is under siege. The zombies are coming back. And all Nona wants is a birthday party. In many ways, Nona is like other people. She lives with her family, has a job at her local school, and loves walks on the beach and meeting new dogs. But Nona's not like other people. Six months ago she woke up in a stranger's body, and she's afraid she might have to give it back. The whole city is falling to pieces. A monstrous blue sphere hangs on the horizon, ready to tear the planet apart. Blood of Eden forces have surrounded the last Cohort facility and wait for the Emperor Undying to come calling. Their leaders want Nona to be the weapon that will save them from the Nine Houses. Nona would prefer to live an ordinary life with the people she loves, with Pyrrha and Camilla and Palamedes, but she also knows that nothing lasts forever. And each night, Nona dreams of a woman with a skull-painted face...

0Nona is a character who couldn't be more different from Gideon and Harrow because of her innocence and exuberance. She lives with Camilla, Palamedes, and Pyrrha and is childlike because despite being in an adult body, she has no memories prior to 6 months ago when she began living with them, and that trio is trying to figure out who she really is. They have forged a makeshift family with strong bonds, and I loved all of the characters in this family.
Muir's signature style of gradually unveiling the story's secrets while leaving room for reader speculation remains strong in "Nona the Ninth." A lot of questions get answered, but many more remain.
