Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

4.0

Re-read Dec/Jan 2023 anticpating volume 2 Jan 10. Still love Dawes. She is me.

I was happy to know the book was waiting for me at the end of each day. ( I think it took 4 days to finish). Was slow to start/set up the scene. She had too many threads to pull together at the end and I had to just go along with that ride and not try to make too much sense of it.

Readable, fun, but there are so many others on my TBR shelf needing attention I may not buy the follow up. HA! PRE-ORDERED THE FOLLOW UP AS SOON AS I HEARD ABOUT IT.

Additional thoughts a few days later:
Dawes is the best character. I would follow her to the ends of the earth.
Having 3 warded locations/refuges was a great comfort, especially the Hutch. I want to be there.
Authors should let their characters sleep - not go 36 hours awake. It's stressful to read.
