itsmebee 's review for:

Katabasis by R.F. Kuang
3.75
adventurous dark emotional funny mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I think Babel is the superior work, here, and some parts of the narrative and dynamic feel too familiar, but Kuang is a great writer. Would probably write this higher if I hadn’t read Babel, which I’m not sure if that is fair or not.
