I really enjoyed this book! The pacing at the beginning was a little slow and I was very confused off the bat with all the terms, however the glossary helped this a lot. Once Act 3 started, I was absolutely sold. It's got a little bit of everything: murder mystery, sci-fi, necromancy, lesbian pining, and some awesome sword fighting sequences. I ended up making a little chart of characters to keep the necromancers and cavaliers of each house straight, and this greatly helped me as well since there are a LOT of characters to remember and keep up with.

I am excited to read the next book in the series!
