"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, New
York Times bestselling author of The Magicians "Ninth
House is the best thing I've read in a long time. There's so
much magic here that you'll begin to feel it seeping into the room
around you as you read, and characters so real you 'll practically
hear their voices in your ear. Leigh Bardugo has written a book so
delicious, so twisty, and so immersive I wouldn't blame you for
taking the day off to finish it." - Kelly Link, author of
Magic for Beginners and Get in Trouble. "Leigh
Bardugo's Ninth House rocked my world. I could not get
enough of sinewy, ghost-haunted 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. More, please, Ms. Bardugo." -
Joe Hill, New York Times bestselling author of
NOS4A2 "In this mesmerizing novel, Leigh Bardugo introduces
us to Alex, a high-school dropout who gets a free ride to Yale
because of a unique talent. Bardugo's New Haven is plausible and
frightening, and I was one rapt reader." - Charlaine Harris,
bestselling author of the True Blood series "With an aura of
both enchantment and authenticity, Bardugo's compulsively readable
novel leaves a portal ajar for equally dazzling sequels." - Kirkus
Reviews (starred review) "Atmospheric...Part mystery, part story of
a young woman finding purpose in a dark world." - Booklist (starred
review)
"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)
"Excellent...Bardugo gives [her protagonist] a thoroughly engaging
mix of rough edge, courage and cynicism." - Publishers Weekly
(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
