November’s FYA Book Club Pick
The Ninth House Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo
Please note: Although this month’s official pick is Dead Beat, the third and final novel in the Ninth House trilogy, we know that not everyone’s caught up with the series. To that end, we’re providing questions both for the series in general and also each specific book. Feel free to read whichever book is right for your club! Or all of them!
Do be aware spoilers in the summaries below (and the book-specific discussion questions, natch).
Ninth House
After a rough young adulthood, Galaxy “Alex” Stern got a second chance at life thanks to Lethe House, a mysterious secret organization at Yale University, an organization that was created to keep the (other) secret societies of Yale in check and under some sort of authority, lest the magic they practice go too awry. Alex was chosen for her ability to see “Grays”—ghosts—and tasked with learning under Daniel “Darlington” Arlington, another Yale student and elder member of Lethe House.
But then Darlington went missing. And a girl was found dead just outside of campus. Alex isn’t exactly chomping at the bit to deal with the situations and figure out how they’re connected, but there’s no one else who even knows where to begin.
Hell Bent
Galaxy “Alex” Stern now knows that magic is real, and the fact that she can see ghosts is not a figment of her troubled mind. She’s fully a part of Yale’s secret (paranormal) societies but doesn’t feel like she’s welcome or that she’ll ever truly belong. And although she’ll never tell them, she only feels at home with the other members of Lethe, particularly Darlington.
Who’s currently in Hell.
Dead Beat
The members of Lethe House have gone to Hell and back—literally—to keep the world from succumbing to demonic rule. But for all of their efforts and sacrifices, the threat is still looming, and it’s up to them to close the door once and for all. Unfortunately for them, the threat isn’t just coming from Golgarot and his ilk. It’s also coming from inside the house.
Saving the world (again) won’t be an easy task, but Alex is nothing if not stubborn. And even if she ends up in Hell for a final time, she’ll put everything on the line to make sure that the people she loves remain safe.
