Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo
3.0
🐇Review🐇

Hell Bent (out now)
•
Well that was quite a wait for the anticipated sequel to #NinthHouse. And to be honest, I’m having mixed feelings. 🤔

What I liked: 
  • I’d say I really liked from 15%-85% of the book. 
  • I enjoyed seeing more Turner and Dawes. 
  • Demon Darlington? Here for it. 

What I didn’t
  • The first 14% was super slow
  • The last 15% was kind of out of control and not in a great way 
  • The very end was questionable— not in believability as that doesn’t bother me— but the plot choices made. 

Will I read what is obviously set up for a book 3? Yes. But if it takes 3 years, I’m not sure it will be a must read for me the way Hell Bent was. Bardugo can write some dark academia, so that’s what will bring me back.
