John McChesney-Young reviewed Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo (Alex Stern, #1)
Review of 'Ninth House' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
At her web site, Bardugo warns potential readers that this book is very different from her Shadow and Bone books, darker and more adult, and I appreciated the tip because it is definitely an adult book, intense and violent enough that a couple of times I almost decided to stop reading. That said, I couldn't stand not to know what happened! And it's a very good book and enlivened with touches of the same humor you'll find in Shadow and Bone. I don't regret reading it and look forward to a planned sequel.
