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Yet, I think that what Ninth House lacked was that little something that originally made me fall in love with Six of Crows.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.

- Ms Bardugo's fantastic world building!
- Intricate plot and twists!!
- Many many layers of "whodunit" and "what's going on"!!!
- Loveable characters that I would spend an eternity reading about!!!!
- Leigh took me to hell with this book and I enjoyed it!!!!!
