4.5

I never expected some of the turns this book took. Every time I thought I knew what was going on or where the events would lead next, I was wrong, there were more layers. Honestly, I loved every minute of it! This is what I expect when I read a dark academia. It was the perfect combination of dark, magic, suspense and mystery. My one complaint is the timeline jumping; it felt a bit disruptive, but maybe that was the point. I can’t wait to start Hell Bent!

2.0

opening with several tedious chapters of Yale circlejerking was already a huge turn off. i expected to eventually like the main character- the author desperately wants you to- but i never came around on her. the institutionalisation of the magic was the most interesting part, but there was not enough substance to it. i can see that the author wanted to tell a story about the consequences of privilege and power in NINTH HOUSE, but for me, nothing truly satisfying was done with that premise. it is mostly a basic whodunnit with a main character that is handed answers rather than the reader being able to piece it together. a generous 2 stars from me, but only because of the hints of an interesting magic system.
