just finished ninth house by leigh bardugoโฆ.and it knocked me out. thereโs been a whole trend of feminist dystopia books lately (vox, red clocks, only ever yours, etc.) and something about them has always turned me off but i could never quite put my finger on itโฆnow though i think i can say that all those books so severely sensationalize the horror done to women that the commentary almost falls flat because itโs so singular in tone. ninth house however is so focused on the worldbuilding of the occult that the politically minded messages donโt come through in the same heavy handed way they do in other books where the commentary is the plot and vice versaโฆbecause of that the themes in ninth house about women not being believed, poor girls especially poor immigrant girls being treated as disposable, boys/menย abusing power just because they canโฆ.these themes donโt feel like themes for the sake of themes they feel like the very natural effects of the plotโฆi donโt know if this is making sense but basically:ย
ninth house feels like a book that was written about the occult but by nature of being a book about a young woman with her eyes open to the way others are mistreated it includes certain political commentaries whereas with feminist dystopian books oftentimes it seems like the plot was written to serve the commentary and the commentary itself was the original idea and those types of books tend to suffer for that

anyways the show opens with percy slamming down on his alarm clock..perfect day by hoku is playing...he runs into the dorm bathroom..theres a scene with him brushing his teeth but it's just the back of his head and u cant see his reflection in the mirror...a shadow passes by the window that's in his room where you can see messy clothes across a messy bed... again the camera is low as percy struggles to put his clothes on (the whole jumping in ur pants thing I did this when I was 12 all the time) the song abruptly ends with a knock at the door and as percy looks to the door u see his eyes for the first time
theres no explanation ur on the loud ass bus with a bunch of kids and Percy's I didnt want to be a halfblood voice over begins
