This book is about many things:

• Abuse in relationships with imbalanced power dynamics
• The grueling nature of grad programs
• Sin, power, and evil
• Allusion to classic depictions of hell, and interpolation of these
• Self doubt, self hatred, self loathing
• Confusing relationships with your competition

I’m absolutely LOVING IT. 😍 The deeper they descend into hell, the deeper and more complex these relationship dynamics become. Beautiful storytelling from RF Kuang.
