2024 books - hell bent by leigh bardugo (alex stern #2)

Welcome home. Welcome back. We missed you. I missed you more than I should have, more than I wanted to. I went to hell for you. I’d do it again.

Gathering underrated funny moments from NH and as for now, it's a tie between

Alex hearing murder at the new moon rite and immediately thinking Darlington is already snitching

and

The Bridegroom passing through Tripp repeatedly just to piss Alex off

Dropping the latest Sketch-a-Wish, voted on by my lovely Patreon members for January! Featuring a tense scene from Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo!

Spoilers for Hell Bent below!

This is one of the few examples of me putting in the WORK for the background, only because it's such a character itself. Il Bastone is a real world setting from Ninth House / Hell Bent, and even though they are scant, there were luckily a few interior photos available for me to reference to create the Virgil bedroom, where Alex and Darlington are having a tense conversation in this scene. I took some liberties on the design but a lot of the structures, accents and patterns were either pulled from the interiors or exterior facade of the Anderson Mansion. (especially the stained glass windows and painted tile fireplace!).

I spent a ridiculous amount of time on the painting over the fireplace to capture a small world-building segment from Hell Bent that I think has a modest symbolism of Alex's and Darlington's new relationship here. A fun little puzzle for those who want to try to research it!

The chokehold Darlingstern has on me right now can not even be put into words.

Daniel Arlington III the man that you are,,,,,,

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

Concept sketches of Daniel Arlington from Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo (the second sketch got chosen, but I kind of want to finish the first one when I get a chance!)

"The stairs seemed to go on forever, turning and turning until Darlington had no idea how long they’d been climbing. He wanted to look back to make sure that Alex was still there, but he’d read enough stories to know you never looked back on your way out of hell."

A true Ophelia - Eurydice fanboy.

Currently reading Hell Bent and honestly very few authors do slow burn like Leigh Bardugo, like you don't even know if they are going to end up together or if one is going to die unexpectedly. That woman is going to kill me

[chaoticmiserablelover]

I'm sick of dating apps; I want to meet someone in person (I am your Dante, you are my Virgil).

[jasmine-tea-biscuits]

Been thinking of writing Ninth House fics for a while now, but the only thing my brain keeps returning to is some ridiculous scenario where Alex and Darlington meet Zoya and Nikolai after some weird magical antics that get mixed up with the door to hell.

Like I’m just thinking of Zoyalai wandering around New Haven and coming across a demon just as Darlingstern does, and both of them being like “who tf are you and why tf do you have power like that????!?! And why are you a demon too!??”
