A fan-favorite ghost will return to help Alex Stern with new threats.
A local Gray have it off as the Bridegroom recreate an important persona inNinth Housebut is unfortunately absent fromHell Bent . However , he could add to the story by returning in the third book . Bardugo support ( viaGoodreads ) that while"The Bridegroom does n’t appear in Hell Bent , but he has a big role to play in the third book . "
With demons and vampires on the loose , it will make the story more complex for there to be one supernatural being whom Alex can count on as an ally . A conflict between the Bridegroom and the lamia Reiter would be a high spot ofNinth House 3 . The reappearance of this character will hopefully let in some of Bardugo ’s spectacular flare — something that will also be coming to Amazon , asBardugo is in person necessitate with theNinth Houseshow .
The cancellation of Shadow and Bone mean that plot line including bud romances , young leading , and dangerous curses will never be resolved .

Mercy might palpate that she necessitate to do this because of what has happened to her and what she has ensure . InHell Bent , she is reasonably much an unofficial assistant who is only there because Alex invite her . There are technically no open positions in the Lethe hierarchy , but it ’s clear that these rules are made to be break by the plot .
