This was my avengers as a classics student. Kuang did an incredible job at sourcing and merging reference material in a way that still makes sense if you’ve never come across the literature before. This book is dark in many ways, so be prepared for that. The final third of the book?? The imagery?? Just incredible.
Graphic: Animal death, Suicidal thoughts
Moderate: Sexual assault
