Can't explain how much I enjoyed this, Galaxy Stern you are amazing
eu simplesmente AMO o jeito que leigh me prende num livro em que eu acho relativamente ok e daí no último capítulo eu fico: FIA???????? MAS QUE MERDA É ESSA!!!!!!
Em Ninth House não foi diferente, eu comecei os livros com expectativas altíssimas e me senti enganada pela maior parte do tempo com coisas chocantes, mas não chocantes o suficiente. Como sempre, Bardugo consegue impressionar, deixando o plot pro final - e quem quiser que lute pra chegar até ele. Eu realmente acho incrível como (literalmente) as últimas páginas conseguem ser incríveis e fazer o livro todinho fazer sentido.
Alex é uma das personagens multifacetadas que você tente simpatia, mas ao mesmo tempo não consegue entender porque ela faz tal coisa e depois pensa "ah tudo bem faz sentido continue". Alex Stern é uma daquelas pessoas que você acredita ser só uma protagonista, mas veja bem: ela se torna uma protagonista, ela luta em cada capítulo pra prender sua atenção e te dizer porque ela é tão boa pra estar nesse livro.
I was absolutely the target audience for this book!
it seems like people are really split on loving or hating this and I'm so confused by that, I have no criticism for this book absolutely none! To everyone saying it's detail heavy and pretentious did we read the same book??? I wanted even more detail and I can't wait for more of these characters.
I usually dislike time jumps and get confused easily but the way the alternating story lines were written in this book was incredible! Similarly, I usually find starting in the middle of the story to create a hook and then jumping back in time to "start at the begining" to be a weak and annoying plot device. But not here. This book hooked me and kept me pulled in till the very last page. I couldn't sleep I was thinking about this book and immediately jumped right into the sequel (which I think I liked even MORE than the first!)
Check your trigger warnings, I did not and paid the price, but I'm ultimately glad I didn't because I usually don't read books with SA in them and I'm so glad I read Ninth House! This book tackles issues like sexism in academia and the struggles that come with differing class relationships all while in the presence of ghosts and the arcane. I found the characters to be beautifully flawed and real. This has me wanting to give more of Leigh's work a try.
Twists and turns at every corner! I especially enjoyed finding out what happened to Helle.
Exceptional story, I am frothing at the mouth for the next installment!!!

Easily one of my fav reads of this year. Alex stern and the world building that was created by leigh bardugo was 10/10. Can’t wait to read hell bent.
Bless you Leigh Bardugo for getting me out of a reading slump! I feel like this is the first original story I’ve read in a while… which probably speaks to my taste in books more than anything but ya know.
hm je sais pas là... j’ai pas spécialement accroché aux personnages et c’était tellement LONG (quasiment que de la narration et de la description moi je décroche au bout de 5 minutes), la seule raison pour laquelle je l’ai lu en entier c’est parce que c’est leigh bardugo quoi
