For me, it was just ok. I definitely get the hype though. It was a fun and interesting premise, loved the house separations and nods to mythology. very well written battle scenes and some surprising twists and turns along the way that were presently well.  I feel like it may start to get a bit political based on the ending

I did get lost with all the character names and the complete different world- this is my first dabble into real intricate science fiction. Enjoyed enough buy and start the next in the series!
