Leigh Bardugo, you’re a magical woman. And Darlington, you were greatly missed. I am not a fantasy fan, or even a magical realism fan. But something about Leigh Bardugo’s work breaks those walls down for me. From the Grishaverse to Alex Stern, I fully live in her fiction and believe every second of it.

I went into this book with a lot of warnings from other folks who did not like it as much as the first book in the series. However, I found it as good, if not better, than the first book.
Of course, Hell Bent did not have the flip flopping time line that Ninth House had which made it a ripping fast read.
However, the characters had a lot of depth and became even more fleshed out in Hell Bent.
My one grumble? The ending or the absence of an ending. I honestly wanted this to be a duology but the ending left no question that there will be a third book. Cliffhanger city. OR more exactly, it stopped in the middle of an action scene. Sigh. These sorts of tactics just reek of a cash grab by the publishers.
