Galaxy ‘Alex’ Stern is a woman cloaked in darkness and tragedy. 
It would seem almost as if her life was doomed to end in heartbreak & lonely. 

Learning about the Houses, the magic and Alex made this a fascinating tale. I will not lie though. I do suggest looking up trigger warnings because if you're not in the right headspace I can imagine that some of the topics discussed and scenes that play out could really mess with someone. 
I’ll also point out that the timeline in how the story played out could be confusing, but I was able to just go with it and I didn’t feel too lost as it all came to a close. 

Thank you past me for picking up Hell Bent the same day so I am able to live in this world a little longer. I just hope the story continues in the way I’m hoping & it doesn’t focus on things I rather skip
