This was my most anticipated release of the year and it did not disappoint. It was everything I loved about the first and more, and it kept my attention like very few books can anymore. Currently trying to be patient, but I am ITCHING for the next book!

I love the feeling of anticipation when starting a book I know I’ll enjoy, and the wait was worth it. Bardugo expands the world she created in Ninth House and the characters, especially Alex, develop naturally in response to Darlington’s absence. Reading about Alex’s time at Yale drummed up such an ache for the learning that I missed from my time at university, and Hell Bent’s magic was just as perverse and compelling as before.

I don’t know how to properly express the chokehold this series has on me. Bardugo has done it again; Alex Stern’s world chewed me up and spit me out and I said thank you and am ready to go again.
