What a phenomenal follow up to Ninth House. I had honestly forgotten how much I had enjoyed reading Ninth House, until I picked this up at the library and just felt like I was pulled straight back into this compelling story and world. 

Alex Stern is probably one of my favorite contemporary heroines, flaws and all. But, all of the characters really in this book are so well written and likable (or so very unlikable). 

The world Bardugo weaves at this Yale is so rich and realistic, which to me is a sign of true success in a modern-type fantasy. It’s equal parts dark, sinister, tragic, and at times, very funny. I can’t wait for the next installment.
