An actual quote, me telling my brother to read this book:

"It's like... ok so imagine Harry Potter was a swordsman, and Draco Malfoy was a necromancer, and they needed to work together in order to win a necromancy competition in a creepy old house. But then someone starts hunting down their competitors one by one, a la Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. And also it's set in space. It's like,,,, the perfect mix of horror, comedy, action, and science fantasy."

I had the absolute time of my life reading this book.
