 Ninth house by Leigh Bardugo

★ What are your most anticipated 2023 releases? HELL BENT 👏🏼 HELL BENT 👏🏼 HELL BENT Actually, I have a lot of most anticipated books, but the sequel to @lbardugo’s Ninth House is near the top of that list. I NEED ANSWERS! It’s been an arduous three years of waiting to see if my dear Darlington is happy and getting enough sleep. 🤣 This gorgeous High Priestess tarot candle was featured in @fictionbathco’s Autumn Pamper box! The winter box is currently available for purchase and it features some of my favorite fandoms. 🖤 Use LIBRARY10 to save! ★ HASHTAGS // #booksofinsta #bookish #booksbooksbooks #bookcommunity #igreads #booksuggestions #bookseverywhere #fictionbathco #bookstagram #darkacademia #alexstern #leighbardugo #ninthhouse #flatironbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck3p6CmP9Lp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Alex Stern 🌌 ("Ninth House" by @lbardugo)

✨ What’s a book that you gave a second chance to? Were you glad you did? Ninth House did not mesh with me on the first go. I listened via audio and I know I’m in the minority when I say this, but I just don’t love the narrator 🙈 Many people LOVE her so don’t let me deter you! It’s very much so an unpopular opinion. I just couldn’t focus, I would zone out and zone back in and be lost... What actually got me to reread this book was the fact that I flagged a copy for my darling friend @story_hoarder. This forced me to physically read it and it was a completely different experience! I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait to get back to Yale. 🖤 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: #TumblesOverBooks - Tropes you love: secret societies tags: #LeighBardugo #NinthHouse #FlatIronBooks #AlexStern #Darlington Bookstagram #Bookstagrammer #Bookish #BookLover #BookInfluencer #BookNerd #BookCommunity #DarkAcademia #ReadingCommunity #ReadEveryDay #LoveForAllTheBooks #AdultBooks #BookstagramIt #BooksInBed #DarkFantasy #Macmillan @MacmillanUSA @macmillanbooks (at Saint Joseph, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/COLe2hwLf9z/?igshid=14n90zx0fcm3c

3 stars. This book was way too long with too much narrative. Still will probably Hell Bent. I like the world, I just don't like the writing.
