phebem 's review for:

Katabasis by R.F. Kuang
3.5

Very creative. Unique world building in hell. Clearly a love letter to the authors husband. I didn’t love it and I’m sad about it. I think it could have been edited for many reasons. 1st the continuous use of the phrase “the minds eye” 2nd the pacing felt off and 3rd the incessant amount of academic references. My favorite bits were the backstory on Alice and Peter.
