i really enjoyed this as my first foray into fantasy! i know every 2nd review says that the first 100-200ish pages are tough and really slow to get into and i will agree, but the rest of the book flies by ! i’m taking off half a star because i found this quite difficult to follow at first, it was a lot of info dumping about the different houses and tbh im still not sure i fully understand how each house works and how they’re all connected but it was fun either way! there are quite a few (slightly unnecessary) heavily graphic scenes which i wasn’t a fan of but overall i loved this :)
