Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo Book Summary

The smash New York Times bestseller from Leigh Bardugo, a mesmerizing tale of power, privilege, and dark magic set among the Ivy League elite.

"The best fantasy novel I’ve read in years, because it’s about real people....Impossible to put down." —Stephen King

Goodreads Choice Award Winner
Locus Finalist

Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. In fact, by age twenty, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her?

Still searching for answers, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. Their eight windowless “tombs” are the well-known haunts of the rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street’s biggest players. But their occult activities are more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And, sometimes, they prey on the living.

Don't miss the highly-anticipated sequel, Hell Bent.

Wonderful Read From Start to Finish. Wonderfully captivating and a good sit down and submerge yourself into.

Worth it. I love Leigh’s work, and this did not disappoint. SO GOOD.

Really Good. This was a really good read! While there were some moments that I felt were repetitive and unneeded in the bigger scheme of the story, overall I enjoyed the book a lot and I’m looking forward to the next. I will say the beginning is a bit confusing, but definitely stick it out! This author does a great job throwing curveballs that keep you wanting more.

Captivating. I consumed this book. I couldn’t put it down and nothing got done in my life. Now I am in anticipation for the next book in the series. Characters are well developed and the story has so many twist and turns. A really enjoyable read.

Unpredictable and addicting.. The story is compelling to the point of obsession. It’s a freight train of prose, worldbuilding, deep characters and dark humor. Violent, eloquent and one of the best books I’ve ever read. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. Alex Stern is a main character I could read about for years.

Engrossing walk with Ghosts. Leigh Bardugo’s other works are rich & full of colorful characters in a land wildly different from the one we’re in. Now she takes that same skill of world-weaving to streets I’ve walked in New Haven, Connecticut with characters we can all resonate with & brings magic to where we are. I can’t wait for the sequel.

Fantastic. I was so impressed with this story of Yale’s secret societies, magic and the dead. The story flowed in a way I must now attribute to a compulsion spell, I cannot wait for more of Yale, Lethe and most importantly Galaxy Stern.

Took awhile to get into. I found the first 30% to be really slow and almost stopped reading...but I am so glad I didn’t! It really picked up and all the puzzle pieces came together unexpectedly. My husband heard me gasp aloud a lot, which is a good sign! Thanks for another great one Leigh!

This Book is pure dribble. I cannot believe a publishing house would actually publish , as in, waste good paper on this tripe. I read voraciously and have put several books aside, but out of pure irritation (seriously I have spent every second reading this feeling really annoyed), I decided to read to the end and I can promise you you are wasting your money on this one. It is full of aimless descriptions and misleading innuendos that not only go absolutely nowhere they ATTEMPT to fool the reader into thinking there are multitudes of mysteries. Well, there are none, they are all bottomless black holes to nowhere. This is without doubt the single most overblown, boring rot I have ever had the displeasure of reading. So, lest you doubt this review I am stopping short of reading the last paragraphs because, frankly, I don’t want the author to have the satisfaction of another second of my attention. I don’t care where Darlington, the Gray Groom end up colliding along the Yale scale because honestly what is going on inside this book has been obvious since chapter three. It’s a big pile of rubbish. Do yourselves a favor a buy yourself a good burger and fries instead!

I enjoyed this!. I enjoyed this book. A very different take on magic in a secret society, academic kind of way. It was slow going in the beginning and I felt I had to work for it going forward, but by the halfway mark I was hooked. I loved the very detailed descriptions of Yale’s campus and all of the secret society lairs. Quite a few surprise plot twists too! Now I am invested, and I want to see how these characters evolve. Especially Alex and Darlington!!! Can’t wait to read the next book!

Lost Me. for a bit but I recovered and enjoyed this book. Will read the next.

Honestly,. It’s Amazing

Outstanding. The best book I have read in 2 years. I was extremely sad to learn I will have to wait till Jan for the next installment

before you read…. i’m sure this book is amazing, it seemed like such a cool concept. but i cannot stress enough that there are some VERY triggering and heavy topics in this book. there are scenes of substance abuse, abuse, and child r*pe. i just felt as though there should be a warning, i didn’t see any warnings in reviews i watched, nor any of the written reviews. (this is no way me bashing on bardugo for her writing, i personally love her books. it just so happens this one wasn’t my cup of tea.)

Amazing. Couldn’t put it down

Absolutely so worthwhile.. I could not put this book down and I cannot recommend it enough.

Absolutely amazing. Stephen King even said it was good.. Listen, there’s a review that says this book is garbage and left 1 star. What an absolute lie. I will admit the book was sort of slow in the first few chapters and confusing because of the information about the societies. But that quickly passed within the first few chapters. This book is absolutely amazing, I read it within two days it was that good. The characters are WELL developed, we don’t even meet Darlington in the present but the few chapters of him in the “fall” was absolutely grand and me fall in love with him immediately. This author made me ship two characters, Darlington and Alex, even though there was no major sign of them getting together. I was upset with the character, astonished with the character, everything with the character. The world building is fascinating with the societies, something I could have never come up with. I don’t like mysteries or thrillers but this was splendid. I wish I discovered this book later in the year of 2022 because now I CAN’T WAIT for the second to come out 2023. If I don’t like something I return it no matter how far I am, I was hooked immediately. I’m coming down from a reading high and can feel a reading slump coming because that’s how good this book was. I would die for Darlington by the way. SPOILER: if he isn’t back next book I’m going to be very depressed-Gentleman of Lethe. THEORY: what if a nexus is born in California because Alex had absorbed Hellie? Maybe she’s on the other side of the veil, but what if she’s not since Alex hasn’t seen her since? I’m curious to see what’s going to happen next. I don’t like cliffhangers. Haha

Loved it!. Can’t wait for the next in the series. Easily one of my favorite authors.
