ok it’s two days to nona so I’m placing my bets into the ring. I think nona is amnesiac alecto in harrow’s body and harrow is also in harrow’s body but like. taking a break. i think gideon’s soul fell into the river (“but as everything went black and I died the second time round[…] your bullshit dead girlfriend had come to claim you. Hands pressed. We died.”) and is either going to serve as a way to show us the place beyond the river (the one place jod “knows nothing of”) or she’s making her way through the river back to her own currently vacant body in the cohort. i have more theories but I’m keeping those in a notes document to point to and gloat about if it turns out I’m right
#nona the ninth#I’m most confident about the alecto is nona thing like. tamsyn was writing atn and then needed a fourth book?#but not an extra additional book at the end. an extra book in the middle. i thought that was weird#but now I think it makes sense if alecto-as-nona was the first portion of atn and then kept getting longer and longer#then she would’ve had to break ntn off into it’s own book and leave alecto-as-alecto for the grand finale in aln#*atn#also like. that but I quoted. the fact that the Body is clearly Right There the whole time.#harrow going to lay down in the tomb in Alecto’s place. and the tomb is empty#I know that’s not the actual tomb and just a representation in harrows brain but still the fact that it’s Empty#when she’s so tied to Alecto#like??? she got out#and we don’t know if the body was around during gtn but I don’t think so. I think she was sleeping somehwere deep in harrow#and something about the lyctoral process and about shoving gideon into the corners of her mind#like harrow stuck gideon in the tomb in her mind (see:frontline titties)#and in doing so she woke up the versuon of alecto that had been slumbering inside her#but she’s too Out Of It during htn to notice that this Isn’t Normal
