You started with the wrong book. If you want to get engrossed immediately, start with The Hidden City first.
Another reason the first three House War books are a better intro — West is just a plain better writer at that point. Due to West having more years as a writer under her belt, The House War books are written in a more engaging, lively, clear way than the Sun Sword books.
The first 3 House War books will hook you enough, that the awkward/detached parts of Sun Sword won't make you as turned off.
