This was just....man this was weird. I loved it....but it was a RIDE.
This was both everything and nothing I expected. It was a fantastic dark academia and nailed the horror fantasy vibe....but I definitely did not expect most of the twists and turns and how horrific and dark it got.
The whole concept of secret societies actually existing at one of the most elite Ivy League university's...the power the completely destroy or control or alter reality in the hands of the richest, most entitled children....it was the perfect setting for the dark and twisted story presented. It was just so unexpected but it all fit together so well that I am simply baffled.
It was so well written and unlike anything I've ever read and experienced, I just loved it. I need some time before continuing with Hell Bent, but this was really truly great.

On my first read I had given this book 5⭐️, but upon reading this again I’m lowering it down to 4⭐️
🚨You NEED to check the TWs for this one. I appreciate that Bardugo went all in when it comes to the adult content in this.
Even if I was reading this for the second time I still was surprised at times with how things went. Bardugo really crafted an interesting world of magic and some interesting characters.
Yet, I think that what Ninth House lacked was that little something that originally made me fall in love with Six of Crows. While Alex had that “gritty” vibe, it just fell flat at times. Alex, who could have been so much more. While Bardugo kept poking at Alex’s potential, it just never materialised. 😕
I’m hoping that Hell Bent keeps Darlington POVs as I found them refreshing. I’m also really hoping to see way more of Dawes in the next book.
Overall a great book ☺️, and it did help make me excited about Bardugo’s work again after the big F that The Familiar was for me.
