A review by alienrosey
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

4.0

I loved this SO MUCH. Had me gasping and going insane. I did have to remove one star for the rape stuff, it wasn’t enough for me to stop reading the book but it was definitely upsetting and impacted my reading experience a lil bit. It’s not gratuitous or long or anything but I’m sensitive to that subject so it made me pretty uncomfy. Not sure if it really needed to be in there but it’s an overall dark ass book so it’s not out of question. Thoroughly enjoyed this book and I’m so hype to read book 2!!!

Graphic: Rape and Sexual assault

Rape descriptions if you want to know the extent.

The MC experiences rape from an adult male ghost in a flashback at age 12/13, it’s not very long but it’s upsetting. There’s also a character who had drugged and raped a bunch of women and had a video vault of them all, he did get punished severely but it’s also a bit upsetting.
