It's like every new sentence in that answer gets me more wtf and curious. If I could stomach first and second person reads I would give it a go to understand wth is going on. Thanks for taking the time!

Be careful cuz if I see a chance to convince someone to read gtn I will take it. For example, the first book is third person, it’s just the second book that has pov shenanigans. (It’s also not as good as the first unfortunately). The plot of the first book isn’t that complicated either, it’s about 8 pairs of necromancer/bodyguard  getting together to compete in a necromancy tournament and then getting caught up in a haunted house murder mystery in space.

Also, these are Gideon and Harrow:
