My mom is reading the books I have listened to the books. Neither of us can figure out who the other one is talking about.

I'll say, palamedees (palamedes)

She'll say, palameedees

I'll say, kitheraya (Cytherea)

She'll say, sitheraya

#being an audiobook listener makes me sound like a snob sometimes #ill be like mom did you mean this name????? and she'll be like ???? who the fuck is that??? #im sorry but her saying pira and nonageesmus gets to me and i cant handle it TT #me being an audiobook listener did mean that i had no idea who cytheraya was bc i thought it was spelled something like kitheraya TT #the locked tomb series #harrowhark nonagesimus #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #gideon nav #harrowhark #gideon the ninth #ianthe tridentarius #alecto the ninth #tlt

The books do this and still don't make me feel stupid for not getting it all in the first read. Tamsyn doesn't seem pretentious like (some) art house film directors. I think it also helps that the fandom loves helping each other discover little details that someone may have missed in their first or second read through.

Locked Tomb hot take:

The locked tomb books aren’t really confusing. Sure, there are many times when a lot of information is provided really vaguely really quickly, but it never at any point felt like I knew less than I should. Plenty of questions remain unanswered, especially due to the unreliable narrators in each book, but this doesn’t make the books confusing - all mysteries either will be answered in Alecto, as they have been throughout the series, or have satisfying answers present in subtext.

The only reason the books have a reputation as being confusing is because they’re a great deal beyond the trope-y nonsense of the booktok plague and they’ve gained popularity on the Reading Comprehension Wesbite™

Just because an artwork takes some effort and thought to understand, just because the author trusts the reader to piece things together without always being explicit in what’s going on, doesn’t make the art confusing.

#i will say that harrow the ninth is definitely confusing the first read through lmao #tlt #the locked tomb

My mom pointed this out to me today (context she has her doctorate in religion)

Aime (Nona and the kids' teacher) her name The Angel and The Messenger are the same word in Greek (which a whole ton of the Bible is written in Greek) (and we all know Tamsyn loves her biblical names).

#everyday my mom points out how smart tamsyn is #like no seriously did tamsyn study greek and hebrew bc the only ppl i know who are picking up on these small details studdied greek + hebre #genuinely love getting my moms read on these books from someone who is ordained and has gone to school 3 times for religion lmao #the locked tomb series #nona the ninth #aimes #the angel #the messenger #tamsyn muir
