Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Galaxy 'Alex' Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale's freshman class. A dropout and the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved crime, Alex was hoping for a 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 - well-known haunts of the rich and powerful. 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 . . .

Lauren Fortgang aka Queen of Narrations
Another Lauren Fortgang novel means a 5/5 performance review - you absolutely cannot go wrong with her narration. Michael's narration of Darlington was also superb - a great choice. Story overall was slow in terms of world building in the first half of the book but I think this story building is crucial for the final half of the book (which is a lot more action packed). Anyone who is easily squeamish and/or triggered with sexual abuse: I would recommend maybe to steer away from this book or go into this with caution as Leigh really doesn't shy away from the details.
Overall this book is extremely rich and dense and amazingly written (I didn't expect anything from Leigh Bardugo) and the narration is fantastic.
(P.S loved the little interview between Lauren and Leigh at the end!)

Great narration! Great storyline! Great characters. I honestly don’t have anything negative to say about this book, except I’m disappointed I can’t start on the second one right now as it hasn’t been released yet.

🖤 Alex Stern 🖤
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?

A Brilliant Segue from Leigh’s YA series
First up, the narration is perfection.
I could listen to the honeyed tones of Lauren Fortgang all day and never tire of it. Michael David Axtell also did a wonderful job for the male character, and I truly believe that the narration style of both helped make this novel as ‘unputdownable’ as the story itself.
With an authentic modern day setting that I found to have the right blend of relativity and fantasy, the tale of Galaxy ‘Alex’ Stern and her Ninth House contemporaries sweeps you along on a totally different journey to Bardugo’s usual Young Adult route.
More grit, more attitude, less romance. Totally immersive.
If you have an interest in the arcane, the esoteric, or have ever questioned what lies beyond the veil, this book should definitely not be missed.
While the ending leaves a couple of questions unanswered, although not so many that you feel frustrated or are left scratching your head, the good news is a sequel is said to be in the works as of the end of 2019 (after Bardugo completes the sequel to ‘King Of Scars’ from the Grishaverse series).
My rating of 5 stars is well-earned as I genuinely believe this is one of Leigh’s best, and most relatable, stories.

Her map had been changed, her coastline altered.
This book pulls you in, and never lets you go. The world building in Ninth House is phenomenal, history and the occult tangled together and situated within New Haven, specifically Yale University, with a magic system that fits perfectly within the natural world. The narrative structure is brilliant, with engaging perspectives that bounce back and forth between past and present, revealing little snippets of information at a time, allowing for slow, yet steady plot development. Each moment is described in such detail that I felt as though I were there with the protagonists, seeing and experiencing everything that transpired. Additionally, the narration of this dark and captivating novel is on par with Leigh Bardugo's exquisite writing. Lauren Fortgang and Michael David Axtell have officially become two of my favourite narrators.

Just plain boring
Get to the point! Gosh so much unnecessary detail with no explanation as to the actual story or decent plot. Got an hour in and and turned it off, doesn’t get any more interesting. Plain boring.

One awful narrator spoils all
I tried hard to get into this book as the plot interested me, but Lauren Fortgang's voice made me wish I was listening to nails on a blackboard instead. I couldn't stand her accent. Michael's narration was fine.
I returned the book about an hour in.

Evocative, intriguing, rattles along at a great pace with great voice acting. Magic is the story but with a myriad of contemporary themes and conversations woven into the narrative. Great audible!

Slow but intriguing
I thought this book was good. There are a few things I liked there are things I didn't like. Let's break them down
Like
- I liked the world building in this story. It reminded me of a Harry Potter esque world but it's grittier.
- I liked the use of magic, it wasn't as extravagant as some fantasy books. I really liked the subtlety of it.
- I love the protagonist!! I just really enjoy it when you're following someone competent.
- I liked some of the side characters. I really enjoyed the fact that you got to know them.
Didn't Like
- The pacing, this book starts out very slow. I had my 1.5x speed on for the most part cause of how I thought how slow the reading was. It could be the reader, it could be the book itself however it took me a while to get into it.
Overall if you can survive the start and manged to stay a little more than halfway through you will be sucked in, into a really cool detective-like story with supernatural and Harry Potter elements sprinkled here and there.
