There must have been so much pressure to write this sequel, but it’s even better than the first book!!

This is a little messier than the first one in terms of plot structure, but incredibly effective as the second in a series. Alex Stern really is one of the most compelling characters I've ever encountered, unapologetic and yet spending every moment at war with herself. And I won't lie, I am obsessed with the dynamic between Alex and Darlington.

This book was highly anticipated for me, and in my opinion did not disappoint! IMO this book really built on the characters of Ninth House but less on the world of New Haven, Nexuses, and the houses. I felt like there were many ups and downs that at times crept close to gratuitous, but I could understand why they were there. The side plot still leaves me a little frustrated since it does resolve nicely, but there was no greater meaning to it or even an exploration of WHY there was no greater meaning…Still obsessed with the book and it’s aesthetic, and adored all of the little historic and literary references that the pages are peppered with. Those highbrow nods balance perfectly with Alex, one of the coolest characters out there, ugly bits and all. Can’t wait to see what happens next for the little group that was assembled— Bardugo really knows how to create a great team. Was devastated to finish Hell Bent and know the long wait for the next book that would come after.
