Finished reading: Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo 📚

A re-read. I just love Leigh Bardugo’s work. So. Much.

📚🗨️ “He’d been washed up on a familiar shore, but the sea had changed him.” Leigh Bardugo, Hell Bent

📚🗨️ “You had to decide who you were willing to go to war for and who you trusted to jump into the fray for you. That was all there was in this world. No heroes or villains, just the people you’d brave the waves for, and the ones you’d let drown.” Leigh Bardugo, Hell Bent

📚🗨️ “She’d never liked that phrase, diamond in the rough. All that meant was they had to cut you again and again to let the light in.” Leigh Bardugo, Hell Bent

📚🗨️ “Why raise children on the promise of magic? Why create a want in them that can never be satisfied—for revelation, for transformation—and then set them adrift in a bleak, pragmatic world?” Leigh Bardugo, Hell Bent

📚🗨️ “She read paperbacks too, one after the next like she was chain-smoking—romance, science fiction, old pulp fantasy. All she wanted to do was sit, unbothered in a circle of lamplight, and live someone else’s life.” Leigh Bardugo, Hell Bent

Finished reading: Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo 📚

This is a re-read, because when I tried to read the third in the trilogy, Dead Beat, I realized I couldn’t remember much that happened in the other two. Leigh Bardugo is so good at the job.

📚🗨️ “I want to live to grow old… I want to sit on my porch and drink foul-smelling tea and yell at passersby. I want to survive this world that keeps trying to destroy me.” Leigh Bardugo, Ninth House
