This was an outstanding sequel to Ninth House, and I cannot wait for the next book in the series. Bardugo has done an amazing job of weaving together small details between books and gradually revealing the plot and reader questions throughout the story. There are so many twists and turns, and the story gets crazier with every page and makes these books just so addicting. I adored the character development from all of the main cast - Alex, Darlington, Dawes, Turner, Tripp and Mercy. There were parts that made me openly chuckle and gasp, and I enjoyed all of the complex narratives that were revealed in this book. I also adored the similar final lines between Ninth House and Hell Bent, and it sets the next book up quite well. I love these characters and these wild tales of dark academia, so glad I picked these up in BOTM!
