A review by eliris3
Katabasis by R.F. Kuang

4.0

I think that R.F. Kuang tends to develop some of the most interesting magic systems that I come across in fiction books. The magic system in this was more difficult for me to understand the intricacies of it because it was such a complicated thought system, but that made it extremely unique. This book felt a little more rushed than others that I've read of hers, and was not my all-time favorite. That being said, there were very blatant commentaries on females in academia and really thought-provoking discussions on death that were interesting to read about throughout the story.
