This book is the definition of why execution matters more than ideas.
Pretty much every part of Ninth House blurb has been done time and time again. But all these overdone elements, added all together and done RIGHT ? This had never been done this well.

And OMG that ending ! I love the « Hey, did you forget THAT weird detail among 542 others mentioned in the book but the ONE that wasn’t explained ?! This is the insane sh*t that explains it. And so this is the even more insane sh*t we’re planning to do in the next book !
- THE END”

Really liked all the twists. I’m usually really good at predicting them and saw pretty much none of them in advance.

Really really liked this book, it will definitely be in my top of 2023 🤘

It’s slow for majority of the book but the last 70 pages are a whirlwind

I'm just not really interested in reading this right now. Maybe I will pick it up in the future, but I doubt because I didn't really like the story or characters so far.

Me ha gustado mucho, no me ha flipado. Alex es MUY guay y el mundo que presenta es horripilantemente verosímil. Me gusta el rollo de la magia, me gustan los personajes y el misterio ha estado interesante. Supongo que no soy muy fan de los thrillers per se, por mucha magia que tengan.
También hubiera agradecido el CW por una escena de una violación explícita.
