4.5
adventurous dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I will literally read whatever Leigh Bardugo writes. Particularly THE THIRD BOOK IN THIS SERIES THAT WILL NEVER COME SOON ENOUGH.

Sorry, calming down.

I'd say this bad boy is 4.5 stars for me.

Not quite the same jaw dropping perfection I felt with Ninth House, but it kept me hooked and entertained, and I was dying to know more. Leigh kept me on my toes, kept me guessing, and kept me hungry for more lore and drama and demons.

I will say that Hell Bent leaned a little further from accessible fantasy than Ninth House did, but not so far that it felt disjointed or disconnected.

Darlington? Still loml. Dawes? Still want her to be my bestie. Turner? I'm just high key picturing Michael B. Jordan in expensive suits so like... 😍 Once again, I'm attached to the characters and their pains and their stories!
