What a ride!- I enjoyed it quite a lot. Alex Stern and Darlington literally own my ass lol. Hell Bent not holds up the first one in this series, but smartly builds upon its exposition-heavy predecessor in a satisfying way that strengthens the characters, and fleshes them out. Bardugo impresses in the way that she is able to propel the character-driven narrative forward while maintaining a careful balance: engaging in fantasy world-building while simultaneously reigning in the story- never allowing it to become trite or to lose a sense of direction. 

Biggest obvious complaint: still no s3x scene (wuhwah)…. to the point in which it is actually glaringly strange that that none of these college kids are getting it on?!?!

I loved that Hell Bent picks up where Ninth House left off, on the rescue mission to get the Gentman Demon earth side. Now a lot has to take place before that mission is reached, and this was surprisingly sub plot heavy. But I thoroughly enjoyed the wild ride and the backstory for some of our beloved characters, Tripp and Turner in particular. I also loved how much of a hell raiser Alex has become and how far she’s come just as a person looking for her chosen family.

I love reading about heist which required unlikely crews determined to get the job done, get attached to each other in witty banters and form a bond like found family
