The instant SUNDAY TIMES and NEW YORK TIMES bestseller, and Goodreads Choice Award winner, that Stephen King calls 'Impossible to put down'

The mesmerising adult debut from Leigh Bardugo. A tale of power, privilege, dark magic and murder set among the Ivy League elite.

Alex Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale's freshman class. A dropout and the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved crime - the last thing she wants is to cause trouble. Not when Yale was supposed to be her fresh start. But a free ride to one of the world's most prestigious universities was bound to come with a catch.

Alex has been tasked with monitoring the mysterious activities of Yale's secret societies - societies that have yielded some of the most famous and influential people in the world. Now there's a dead girl on campus and Alex seems to be the only person who won't accept the neat answer the police and campus administration have come up with for her murder.

Because Alex knows the secret societies are far more sinister and extraordinary than anyone ever imagined.

They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And, sometimes, they prey on the living . . .

'Ninth House is the best fantasy novel I've read in years, because it's about real people. Bardugo's imaginative reach is brilliant, and this story, full of shocks and twists, is impossible to put down' Stephen King

'Ninth House is one of the best fantasy novels I've read in years. This book is brilliant, funny, raw and utterly magnificent - it's a portal to a world you'll never want to leave' Lev Grossman, bestselling author of The Magicians trilogy

'Ninth House rocked my world. I could not get enough of Alex Stern, a heroine for the ages. With a bruised heart and bleeding knuckles, she risks death and damnation - again and again - for the people she cares about. I was cheering her on the whole way: from the first brilliant sentence of this book to the last' Joe Hill, bestselling author of N0S4A2

"Genuinely terrific...The worldbuilding is rock solid, the plot is propulsive, and readers will be clamoring for a sequel as soon as they read the last page." - Library Journal (starred review)

"Instantly gripping...Creepy and thrilling...The world of this book is so consistent and enveloping that pages seem to rush by." - BookPage (starred review)

"Simultaneously elegant and grotesque, eerie and earthbound...Wry, uncanny, original and, above all, an engrossing, unnerving thriller." - The Washington Post

4.5
I loved this book but not perfect, it was a little slow in the middle but once the pace picked up it was amazing.
Also a reason I docked half a star is because my main priority was to know WHERE DARLINGTON WAS and I really could’ve had more of him but still this book is excellent.

While I loved this book it definitely isn’t for everyone with the slow burn plot and how gritty the plot is I wouldn’t recommend this for everyone.

Intriguing

Reviewed in Australia on 17 November 2019

Format: Hardcover

Oh boy! This book... it’s a lot! I’m not sure I would class this as fantasy, I’d class it more as paranormal, but really it’s not a big deal.
At first, I had a difficult time with this book. I didn’t quite get that the timeline flashed back or where the story started.
I also didn’t understand the role of Lethe and what the heck Alex was doing.
But around chapter 5, things stated to fall into place.
There’s a lot of moving parts with this book. I also found that there was a bit of assumed knowledge about Yale and it’s societies, which I don’t have.
But I did like this book. It’s not my usual read, but I did enjoy it. I also liked the touches of humour here, as well as Il Bastone almost being a character itself.
There’s a lot going on with this book, but if you can stick with it, if paranormal occurrences are your thing, then this will be right up your alley!

Intriguing and Engrossing!

Reviewed in Australia on 15 January 2020

Format: Kindle Edition

I absolutely loved this book! It had everything I wanted in a murder mystery novel and so much more.

Alex Stern is a tough, non-academic girl from California. She has a unique ability to see and interact with greys, or ghosts as we know them. This makes her the perfect candidate for recruitment into the mysterious society Lethe House, who oversee the supernatural exploits of Yale’s secret underground societies. She has a steep learning curve on both the academic and mystical fronts, as she barely manages to survive her first year of college, despite the loss midway of her friend and mentor, Darlington. And that’s the mystery... where is Darlington, and who is responsible for his disappearance?

Ninth House was an incredibly intriguing and engrossing read. The storyline alternates between the present and the past and I particularly enjoyed Darlington and Alex’s POV’s. I absolutely loved the whole historical side the nine societies, and the way Bardugo examines it all through the architecture of the buildings, poetry, literature and American history.

The book will draw you in and hook its claws into your mind and imagination. There are so many twists and turns to the storyline, you never know who the villain is until the end. I highly recommend this book to you and especially the audible version. Lauren Fortang and Micheal Axtell do a fantastic job with the narration of this book. Looking forward to the next instalment of intriguing story.

Adult Fantasy

Reviewed in Australia on 1 March 2020

Format: Kindle Edition

So this was the first Leigh Bardugo book I’ve read. I’m not sure why, all of the others are on my book shelves and are definitely ‘want to read’, but there was just always another one that took priority!

So....I had no preconceived ideas about this one going in, other than all of the glowing reviews I’d read about the author and this book in particular. And I enjoyed it and I’d definitely read the next one, especially as Darlington is probably my favourite character. But.

1. It took me a long time to read, mainly because I found it hard going through the first half and so wasn’t completely engaged in the story.
2. It was a real ‘information dump’ at the start in setting the scene, and not enough character building and back stories to support that and keep me emotionally invested.
3. I get all the triggers, but I really didn’t read it as adult fantasy.

All of that aside, I would still recommend, but not as one of my faves.

Solid 3.5⭐️

Such a disappointment!

This was a hard book to read. The writing style was so awkward that it took until half way through the book to get a true sense of what was going on. I read this with a group and everyone felt the same.
In my opinion, this book was way over-hyped and definitely not fantasy! Paranormal maybe, but not fantasy. Also read more like YA than adult.

Illuminati move over

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The Ninth House is Leigh Bardugos first Adult Novel and the first that’s set in a version of our world rather then a secondary fantasy realm, it’s a urban fantasy slash mystery set in and around Yale unveristy and new haven I can’t speak to the the authenticity of the setting but it feels like new haven is a character in its own right from Darlington’s love to Alex’s mix of wide eyed wonder and cynicism about her new home.

The story uses the Colleges Secret society’s as a backdrop for intrigue with the ancient eight as there are known each specialising in a magical discipline since these are still frats and sororities filled with lots of irresponsible rich kids oversight is needed with the ninth house Lethe being responsible for upholding and investigating breaches of the rules. The enforcers of lethe are known as Dante (junior) and Virgil ( senior) with the Dante then becoming Virgil when the Virgil graduates.
The Current Dante is Alex Stern a former drug addict and survivor of abuse that was given a second chance by Lethe after being the sole survivor of a horrific crime due to her life long ability to see Gray’s or spirits and Darlington is the Virgil a serious and studious young man who is more then what he seems.

The star of the show is the world building Bardugo does a wonderful job of introducing magic into semi familiar surroundings so for the example the bones men perform divination ceremonies involving animals and people in order to predict the stock market, Manuscript specialise in glamour and illusion and seduction and have Hollywood cornered and the societies by and large are what they are in real life a haven for the rich and privileged a chance to network a life long special club they aren’t criminal organisations or the illuminati and a lot of the worst damage they do Is due to entitlement rather then actual malice, in between the mysteries and magical goings on the author has a lot to say about the Classism and sexism that is is inherent in the Greek system especially one in a environment where entitlement and privilege are taken for granted and that’s even before Magic is added into the mix.

The story is told between two different timelines and revolves around 3 basic mysteries a disappearance, a murder and Alex’s past the story is anchored by the characters relationships with Darlington and Alex being the real highlight I liked Alex’s room mates and some of the side characters such as Dawes but it was I felt late in the story before they became more then cardboard cut outs, the one weakness of the story why it wasn’t a five star is a common complaint it’s hard to do a good mystery alongside a fantasy where magic is a viable tool simply because the reader doesn’t know the rules or what’s possible it makes it very hard to get that ha, ha ! Moment. However there’s enough going on and the writing is of a high enough calibre that you would get over that.

I highly recommend the ninth house for those new to the author and those already familiar be warned this is an adult novel that covers some pretty tough subjects such as drug addiction, sexual assault and consent in a surprisingly harrowing way at times Alex has had a horrific teenage years and while nothing too graphic was described there was enough said and more implied that some readers might find disturbing while I called this a urban fantasy crossed with mystery you could make a strong argument that it could be called a horror mystery.

However all topics were treated with respect the writing was superlative, the world building was engrossing the characters, at least the main ones , were 3 dimensional and sympathetic if flawed, this was a superior first book I look forward to the second one.

Dark, Immersive, Disturbing, Brilliant

Holy ****.

Leigh Bardugo’s debut adult novel, Ninth House, is beyond anything I expected. It’s a magical and intellectual tour de force; a powerhouse of plot and prose, suspense and suspicion, murder, magic, and madness. I came to it thinking it was a standalone, but it’s actually the first in a series, and I’m so relieved at that because I am hungry for more. I believe the sequel is slated for 2021, and honestly that can’t get here soon enough.

2019 will, for me, be the year of amazing books. I’ve read some fantastic novels this year, and I thought I had my Book of the Year already picked out. Now, I’m not so sure. Ninth House is mind-blowing and I’m still wrapping my head around it.

I first came to Leigh Bardugo through her YA series, the GrishaVerse, in which she’s written multiple novels and short stories. Ninth House is her first adult novel, and her writing here is an immense cut above her YA fare, honestly. It’s bold and brutal and striking, yet lyrical and magical. She’s really stretching her writing chops with this book, and it shows: her imagination and ability to plot and characterise is amazing.

Ninth House follows Galaxy (Alex) Stern, a former drug user and high school dropout, in her freshman year at Yale. How did she get into Yale? Through the sponsorship of a mysterious society called Lethe — the titular Ninth Nouse — which is tasked with monitoring the magical workings of Yale’s secret societies and their members. Alex is recruited from her hospital bed, the sole survivor of a gruesome multiple murder scene, by Dean Sandow, who offers her a chance at a different life. Different, of course, can mean many things…

One night, a murder on campus gets Alex’s attention. The victim isn’t a student from Yale, but her horrific demise isn’t something Alex can ignore. Her instincts say there’s more to the case than what the cops claim — an abusive boyfriend gone too far — but finding the evidence isn’t as smooth or easy as it initially appears. Woven into this storyline is the mysterious disappearance of Alex’s Lethe House mentor, Darlington, some months before; a disappearance that has sent shockwaves through the House and its surviving members, including Alex who is very much left thinking on her feet when it comes to dealing with the various societies’ extra-curricular activities.

The societies are powered by tombs, which are nexus of occult power built up over the years of students dealing in magic and the occult. These are the high-powered and elite, both past and future: Wall Street bankers, Hollywood stars, politicians, and other members of high society are students or alumni, and many of these still fund their societies, both financially and otherwise. The occult magic that is wielded by these societies can do more than change GPAs or ensure exam success; some are prognostications which provide glimpses of the future, some change a person’s appearance, whilst others guarantee social standings and wealth. This is the place power is born, cultivated, and unleashed upon the world.

Such magics are dangerous though, and can have drastic consequences, including blackouts and unexplained deaths. They all come at a cost — something which Alex is just discovering.

Alex, of course, has her own history — what brought her to drugs in the first place, her family life, her friendships, and why she alone survived a murder spree. Most of all, why would she, of anyone, be of value to Lethe? For Alex harbours both a secret and a dangerous gift — which will help to identify the victim, the conspiracies, and the magics underpinning what looks like a love crime gone bad.

Ninth House is complex and absorbing, and reading it is like drinking incredibly fine, incredibly potent, incredibly dark, alcohol. The story and prose are intoxicating. The setting is so vivid that I actually felt like I was attending Yale. There is a map in the hardback edition which was helpful at times, but on the whole I could sense the buildings and locations, observe the brickwork and streets.

Alex is an extremely complex character; deeply flawed yet noble, wiry yet strong. She goes through a lot in this book, physically and mentally, and in terms of character growth. The other characters — Darlington, Dawes, the Bridegroom, Mercy, Lauren, and others — are all well-drawn and really do get under your skin, for good and bad reasons (Blake, I’mma looking at you). They’re well-balanced, with positive and negative traits, and you can discern so much about their various personas by way of a throwaway line or comment, or one of Alex’s shrewd observations. I particularly liked Darlington and his wit.

It took me a moment to realise that, within each society, members have codenames to cover their identities. For instance, Alex is Dante. Darlington is Virgil, and so on. I liked how these were themed according to the leanings of each house — Wolf’s Head being a particular favourite — but it took me a while to put each codename to each character, where I had both available to me. Not all of them were disclosed, which I also appreciated — secrets are secrets, after all.

The pace never lets up in this novel, and it feels like a rush of blood to the head. There’s always something happening, or a sinister sense of something about to happen. The story alternates between the present events revolving around the murder and two past timelines — one of Alex’s former life, and one centred around Darlington and what happens (or doesn’t, depending on how you view it). This changing between timelines is handled beautifully and doesn’t ever feel disjointed or problematic; in fact, it’s so absorbing that, by the time the novel returns to the events of the prologue, it took me a moment to pick that back up, and that’s good.

If you have a background in witchery or the occult, there’s lots of symbolism throughout the novel — specific herbs, plants, rituals, which will cause you to sit up and take notice. If you don’t have such a background, that’s okay, because knowing about these elements won’t detract from the story at all. They’re just an added layer for anyone who does have such a background. Regardless, if you like fantasy, crime, the supernatural, and/or just love a damn good story, this is it. Ninth House is brilliant and will leave you thinking about it for days afterwards. It’s also perfect for Halloween…

I bought Ninth House and didn’t receive an advanced copy from the publisher. All thoughts and comments are my own and in no way reflect the opinion of the publisher or author. I received no reimbursement (financial or otherwise) for this review.

Great read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2019

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is a dark (like, very dark in some places) adult fantasy.

‘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!

Alex is a damaged girl, but driven by a sense of justice for herself and all other wronged girls abused by men in power. She finds herself in a unique position: policing the elite magic societies of Yale who not only have temporal wealth and power but also magical.

She feels very real because this is a real situation for many young women, so it helps ground the magical elements of the story. The plot keeps you hooked right to the end. But I did think the reveal of the true villain (no spoilers) was too hurried and too near the end. Though interesting. It certainly wasn't what you were expecting. So all in all, I'll be reading the next one and in the mean time have bought her previous book Six of Crows :-)

I didn’t regret buying the Six of Crows duology in hardcover, but I sure regret buying Ninth House in hardcover. There’s a reason most of the praise blurbs on the cover are from horror writers. And I read an interview with the author where she said it’s considered adult because of the structure, but I disagree—it’s because of the sex and graphic violence, I'd bet. It reads a lot like early Anita Blake, minus vampires. I don’t know whether it’s an effort to break out of the epic fantasy box to go gritty magical realism, but this is really just another magic at college book. And as far as structure goes, it's told in flashbacks--takes you right out of the story. It’s more about survival and privilege or the lack thereof than growing up, though there is growth. It’s totally young adult. But it’s urban fantasy leaning towards horror, and I see no reason to pay hardcover prices for this book, especially if it manages to become a series.

Leigh Bardugo is more commonly known for her YA books and this is a fantastic first step away from that. The heroine Alex Stern pulls you along on her journey through the unnerving maze of Yale’s supernatural houses and keeps you right on the edge throughout the story. Creepy, sarcastic, clever, you’ll love this girl and her frightening world and be highly disappointed when the last page comes around far too quickly. Can’t wait for the next instalment!
