Uh oh, sisters! In this episode, we’re reconnecting with the world’s most normal twins. Chapter 34 finds us in the Seventh House’s lyctoral lab with Ianthe, Corona, and Babs’ dead body. Ianthe performs her villain monologue, reveals Corona’s “bad, sad, secret,” and commits a little light self-defence killing to follow up her main course of first-degree murder. We then

We still have so much more to say about Nona the Ninth! After gushing over two characters we hadn't got to yet—Pyrrha and Pash!—we evaluated how well we did overall in our previous Nona theories episode and discussed the major plot developments and new information gained in this book.

This episode is focused on the biggest theories and questions we had going into Nona and was recorded before we read it, so there aren't any spoilers or discussion of events past the excerpts released before publication. Although the book's obviously out now, we decided to resurrect this bonus episode from the dead, if
