From the reviews I saw, it seems that Ninth House is the more liked of these books. I, however, enjoyed Hell Bent much more than Ninth House. It took me about 100+ pages to really get into Ninth House and Hell Bent took off right from the start. It kept me intrigued the entire way through, I still liked the characters, and it felt reminiscent of the show Supernatural toward the end (of which I only saw 5 seasons, but they were 5 very good seasons!). Suffice to say that I'm very excited to see where book 3 takes us.
Between Ninth House, Hell Bent, and Shadow and Bone (which I will share my review of later), I can definitely say I'm a fan of Leigh Bardugo's writing. Once immersed, it's easy to stay IN the story and, at times, I've found myself sitting up on the couch with the book inches from my face - which is something I have experienced with all three books I've read by this author.
