It's fun. The premise is a bit stupid but after you get over that it's like a better version of Ender's Game or other academy shit. Second book is significantly better.

It's a bit like Warhammer 40k but with genetically engineered 9 foot tall humans LARPing as ancient Greeks and Romans in space.

I don't think the whole space war hammers and whip swords thing makes a whole lot of sense, or even using fighters and power armor instead of just drones, but it is more interesting than just reading about a solar system wide drone-nuke battle.

>9 foot tall
your average Gold is like 6'8. Darrow is described as just under 7 feet and he's said to be tall. Even Obsidians are only like 8 feet.

dumb racism allegory
author wants you to feel pity for resentful crippled retard races when genetically engineered aryan superhumans exist
