I didn't like it that much at first, but I ended up loving this book. It was like an Agatha Christie closed room haunted house mystery with queer outer space necro wizards, lots of skeletons, and sword fights.

Cons:

- The narrator was randomly juvenile from time to time which was annoying and broke immersion.
- There was an awkward point at the beginning when it was just Gideon and Harrow by themselves in a vacuum and they were way too intense, and then suddenly there were almost 20 new characters all at once, and suddenly it was way too much, but eventually it kind of leveled out and you just got used to there being 16 primary characters for a while.

Pros:

- Neat world. I loved the magic and the tone and the planetary travel. Loved the 8 different houses, which felt like Hogwarts with depth.
- Harrow and Gideon were obviously an amazing relationship to watch, but there was also Gideon and Dulcinea and Harrow and Sextus, and more. There were so many characters, but none of them were throwaways. They were all fully developed and realized, with backstories and relationships.
