Summary
This week on Matcha Made Us Read It, we’re discussing Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo — covering Chapters 1 through “The Descent,” and the plot is already DARK 😭🕯️
We get thrown right back into the chaos with Alex Stern trying to navigate Yale’s secret societies while dealing with ghosts, danger, missing people, and secrets that somehow just keep getting worse 👀 Every chapter feels like another layer of “this cannot possibly get more messed up” … and then it DOES.
In this episode we talk about:
☕ our theories so far
🕯️ the creepy atmosphere and dark academia vibes
👻 Alex’s struggles and the pressure she’s carrying
📖 suspicious characters we don’t trust AT ALL
😭 moments that confused us, stressed us out, or made us pause and reread
🔍 all the little details Leigh Bardugo casually drops that feel important later
And can we talk about “The Descent” because ??? The tension, the buildup, the imagery… we were STRESSED.
No spoilers beyond this section please — we’re reading and spiraling one chapter at a time together 🖤
