Sometimes family is a gentleman demon, a galaxy who can see ghosts, an anxious research assistant, a well-dressed detective, and the human embodiment of a golden retriever

There is something so comforting about Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, despite the abundance of trauma, gore and eerie stuff.
Take Il Bastone; the existence itself of a sentient house that worries about you, in a world where magic is grotesque and raw.
Dawes's warming meals.
The architecture! The beauty of New Haven, the art.
For how fucked it is, you never see Alex complaining because she has met worse. Because even among demons, and bloody rituals, and uptight professors, she's at least surrounded by beauty and comfort. That same feeling passes unto the readers, it truly is magical to read Ninth House.

“Galaxy Stern,” Darlington said, his eyes flashing gold,
“I have been crying out to you from the start.”

i love the ninth house fanart where dawes looks beautiful and put together but cmon. look me in the eyes. she's got debilitating anxiety, can't talk to people, and has been writing the same dissertation for six years. this is how i pictured her for the entire book (affectionate)
#dawes is an autistic lesbian girlfailure if ive ever seen one#also how has nobody picked up on the fact that shes autistic#it's crazy#ninth house#pamela dawes#oculus#dawes#alex stern#galaxy stern#darlington#darlingstern#hell bent#leigh bardugo#daniel arlington

The fact that there are people out there who don't like Ninth House is so baffling to me because I'm such a picky reader, and yet this book wrecked my life, I'm telling you
One of the best prose I've ever encountered, and yes, the story was messy at first but not so messier than many other fantasy books I read. I found it more engaging than a detailed, list-like wordlbuilding explanation that seems to be more common. Or even when they try to scatter it, it still comes off as "let's get the worldbuilding done with" and that's not something I found here, and I thought it clever and enthralling. I actually enjoyed deciphering the many quotes, mentions and foreshadowing. That's why I read it twice.
I was also surprised to find many people don't like Alex as a character. That's genuinely the most surprising one to me. She's such a complex, strong and intelligent woman! And she's an antihero, which I always enjoy.
Lastly, many people complained about the slow burn being too slow. This one annoys me a little. If you want your characters to get together within 300 pages, that's not a slow burn. If you don't want the tiny details, the tension, the "almosts", it's not a slow burn.

So we all agree that Alex’s mom definitely knows shit she’s not supposed to right? Mira said “there is a reason I named you Galaxy” As Alex has consistent imagery of herself covered in stars in dreams and in hell. So did she dream about Alex with midnight eyes and stars on her skin when she was pregnant, naive to the premonition? Or did she know what Alex’s father was, whom I’m personally suspecting was a demon, and named her that in his honor? Leigh Bardugo hasn’t told us how Wheelwalkers have come to be and there’s no way it’s an accident. It would explain why her dad hightailed it out of Estrea’s sight: she always knew the truth and she could see through the bullshit.

My favourite part of Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo is how Mercy was just prepared to commit a Crime to go to Hell. Like she instantly went from 0 to 100 and I think we aren't discussing this enough
