"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
