it's basically the hunger games in an agatha christie murder mystery but really badly executed....
things i liked:
- gideon, our main character. she's snarky and to the point
- the sixth house (sience for the win)
- the general magic system.
things i didn't like:
- the writing. (the author is using a lot of "grown-up words" which doesnt help you understand the book amy better.
- the world building (if you can even call it that) we're in a house, on a planet, the house has doors and rooms. but mostly doors. also there are skeletons, and necromacers. and nine houses. why? who knows....
- the naming of the characters (everyone -even REALLY unimportant characters have like 3-5 different names and while
they're being killed off you're just too busy trying to remember who that is to give a f*ck. - and this might just be about the marketing - but i feel VERY iffy about how this book is promoted as "enemies to lovers" when it is absolutely a story about abuse. also wtf about the ending.
not here for the romantasized abuse!
so basically it's a book about some characters in a house and one is a murderer. also there is necromancy and swords.
