I'm definitely going to read this a second time when it's published as I think this is a book that's meant to be analyzed.
I highly recommend reading Piranesi by Susanna Clarke before Katabasis, as they have a very similar tone, and it helps to understand the vibe of this book!
The first 160-200 pages are very good but pretty tedious to get through. However, I PROMISE! if you push through those, your life will be changed. I was really nervous that this would fall a little flat at first, but I'm so so happy that I kept on reading!
It has a super captivating story, with super weird and interesting characters along with a thought-provoking theme and a really great approach to misogyny and chronic illness.
I love these characters with my whole heart, and if I could, I would write a 10-page review about this book!
