Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

4.5

Ninth house is another beautiful entry in Leigh Bardugo’s fantasy catalog. With an emphasis on secret societies, magic and more paranormal/supernatural entities, this novel showcased a new side of dark academia that benefits from its elaborate world-building and writing. 

Note: This novel is SLOW at the beginning, but like a thriller would do, the world-building unravels with each page turned and read. Alternating timelines introduces new characters that are beloved at the start and grey characters that seem to unravel as the novel unfolds bringing more mystery to the already mysterious storyline. Ninth house has a bit of everything, including a murder mystery that grounds the novel even more alongside its location in Yale University. 

Overall, I singlehandly devoured the first two books in this trilogy. It was the perfect blend of genre that enjoy reading and couldn’t ask for a better author to write it. 

Also, this story has many content warnings but on the top of my head, SA is very present in this novel and among other things that are in the same realm so please try and find a full list of these warnings on social media sites so that you understand exactly what you are getting into before reading.
