Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me start by saying I am a huge fan of Bardugo and have loved her previous work. The ninth house was a pre order months in advance and I couldn't wait to start it. It even had a promising start, confusing, but promising. Yale, magic, backstories of people evolving etc. Yet the book became more and more a joke the further I got. The plot kept changing, our protagonist being able to overcome things she shouldn't be and the pace was set so high for her, that my own head started spinning from it. It was too much, every single bit was too much. From the "ground zero" story line and her back story, to her "roommates" (really why even keep that in the story, complete side track) to having 5 story lines combined into one book. It was way way too much and in my opinion made it bad. This idea she had was great, I just wish someone had told Bardugo to take another year and start editing as much as possible OUT of it. All in all, disappointed and do not recommend. Pick up any of her other books, especially the six of crows duo logy
