I put off listening to Hell Bent for ages after getting it on Audible, because I figured I would really need to focus on it - the time skips in Ninth House had really baffled me at first but by the end everything made sense so I figured this one would be the same. 

I was definitely not disappointed in the plot! Three nights in a row, I stayed up past 4am listening to this audiobook after going to bed. It flows beautifully - I know a lot of people have said that it’s too fast or feels rushed but I disagree wholeheartedly. 

I’m excited for the story to continue in the 3rd one!

By and large, the above triggers I feel are present are handled appropriately and are not there for gratuitous reasons.

While I still love Alex and the plot was unpredictable and engrossing, I found that the world expanded a bit too much... (Spoilers: demons??? Why???).
