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...
I find it fascinating that whenever I start reading a book in this series I have no idea what I am getting into. Tamsyn has me twisted in all directions trying to figure where she is going. I went into book 2 so confident knowing what I will be reading...I was a bit taken aback from the second person narration, I even read it slower since I am not really reading in this style, and then when she was preparing to drop the bomb I ate that sh!t up! Same here, I already have guesses, but we were yet again dropped into something completely different than before. Nice to be kept on my toes, extra nice that the quality is there as well.
