I’ve read most of her work. Started with the Shadow & Bone trilogy, the Six of Crows duology, and got through the first half of the King of Scars duology.
Ninth House is easily her best work. I devoured the book in a day and bought Hell Bent about 2 seconds after I finished it. The twists at the ending gave me literal goosebumps. Bardugo has outdone herself. I cannot wait to start Hell Bent.
Perhaps an unwarranted thought on my part, but I can’t help but feel that if Bardugo dedicated more time to building out the mortal world and hellscape instead of Yale’s architectural wet dream, perhaps she would be able to actually write a dozen books (bit much, perhaps a six would suffice) and fix the pacing.
I’m holding on for the third book despite Hell Bent massively disappointing me purely because I enjoyed Ninth House so much. Here’s to hoping!
