Katabasis by R.F. Kuang
5.0
In case you’re late to the party R. F. mf Kuang is a fucking genius. she plottin and trottin and world building like it’s nobody’s business. and the amount of research she conveys with seamless non overwhelming references … chefs kiss.
thy characters: Alice law. Peter Murdoch. Elspith. GRADUS.
oh how we get the pleasure of Alice’s devils advocacy for majority of the book to then find a sliver of a meaning to atone for herself. how she unintentionally incites change and then balks at the why but walks away with only a feeling of understanding and not a reason and that’s enough! how her and Peter go from strictly last names to delicate firsts. the underlying usage of if you truly love something you must let it go for if it’s truly loves you back it will return.
also the way kuang only writes gradus in for a short time but the IMPACT of his character, my heart.
tears so many tears. I cannot wait to journey through hell again
more to come when I’m done sifting through my feelings
