As befits a story about necromancers in space, this is proving to be a harsh, jarring read. The setting is harsh, the characters are harsh, and even the prose is harsh. I'm having to look up a word on every page. However this seems to serve the story very well as members from each of the houses eventually assemble on the first planet to prepare for their training. I'm glad I chose to continue reading.
