The worldbuilding was heavy and at times confusing, but the dialogue was engaging and refined and the fight scenes were cinematic.

2.0
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.
