Ninth House was never on my radar to read. I’ve seen it around but never thought to pick it up because I wasn’t reading fantasy books at the time it was written. But then someone on tiktok approached me and asked if I wanted to buddy read this one, so I decided to give it a try even though I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it (normally I ONLY read books that look good to me, and I was on the fence about this one). BUT I READ IT. I read this book ANYWAY and I feel like I lost HOURS AND DAYS of my life! Not all of it was bad, but it wasn’t great either. I mean this book literally went ON AND ON and never got ANYWHERE. There was so much useless information that filled the pages, and it bored the heck out of me. There were some good parts I’ll say that and there were moments that it got so good that I WANTED to keep reading despite my misgivings, but those moments were few and far in between. The useless information was CONSTANT. It was too WORDY and I felt like there were moments my eyes glazed over everything and I had to go back because I thought I missed some things that I needed to know (I didn’t… I didn’t need to know ANY of it). And despite the horrible writing style and the useless information that was CONSTANTLY dumped in our lap, there were some good things… I liked Alex. She’s fun and feisty and has “could care less about anything” attitude. She’s also a character who comes to life on the pages because of the things that happened in her life. Another good thing? The ending. I wasn’t expecting the twist and thought it was brilliant. Finally, I liked the magic (when it wasn’t overly talked about over and over again in ways we mere mortals couldn’t understand).So, is the book bad? No. But it’s also not my cup of tea. I think readers should definitely check out other reviews before deciding if this is a book for them or not.

‘The Nineth House' follows a young Galaxy (Alex) Stern through her first year at Yale. She's been plucked from a dismal life with no prospects, and given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study at a prestigious university AND be part of a secret magic society (I mean, who wouldn't do that?).
The narrative is set in a few different timelines, and from two perspectives (Alex and Darlington). I particularly enjoyed this because I really thought Darlington was a bit of an arse to start with, but as I read his backstory I really connected with him.
Alex won me over pretty quickly, and her rash, crude personality really shone through!
What I particularly love about this book is the fact that you can really immerse yourself in the magic. However, the darkest part of this story has nothing to do with magic and secret societies; it's the harsh realities that some women are faced with.
This is definitely a book to savour and not devour!
It's a 5/5 for me!

Such a disappointment. So dense

This rolled from weird, to strange, to turning my stomach in certain scenes, to being completely devoured by the story in others and off putting in others. This was, simply put, a strange ass read and conflicting when it comes to rating. Overall, I did enjoy this book, especially the second half once it really got going and I started to fully understand this world and got a handle of all the lingo within this fantasy horror world.
It was originally such a dense read that had so much exposition, yet it still took me so long to understand all of what was going on within this world. If it wasn’t for the second half, or last third and for something finally clicking, then I probably would’ve rated this lower. I went through such a sluggish reading period because of this book, whether it was because of the writing or the story I don’t know, but the relief I had when I finally finished it and was finically invested in this book was so satisfying. I am intrigued to read more of Leigh Bardugo books, just to see how her writing in those compare to this one and whether I enjoy those ones and the worlds in those, a lot more than I did when compared with this one.
