Not quite as good as the first book but it reads so much quicker now that you have much more context to everyone and everything.

Leigh Bardugo's writing style is so enrapturing and I had an incredibly hard time putting this red down when I needed to do productive tasks. 

I loved this story a lot!! My only complaint was that the romance aspect felt a bit out of nowhere and forced. Otherwise, brilliant all around.

I love Alex Stern so much! This book was not at all what I thought it would be and by the end felt completely different than the first book. Overall, this book felt more fantasy than mystery, however, I loved it nonetheless.

I love love love LOVE the Alex Stern series! The dark descriptions of the New Haven setting, the use of the arcane, and the secrecy of the societies. Best of all I adored the relationships between all the characters. I feel like we really got to see all of the friendships established in Ninth House grow and develop. I, despite not loving slow burns, loved the relationship between Darlington and Alex. Are they friends, lovers, or demonic soulmates? All of the above? It doesn't matter because at the end of the day, it's a relationship betweeen two hunger-driven survivors who are just trying their best. Pammie Dawes  and Tripp also stole my heart. I cannot wait to see what happens next!
