    YEEES i’m so ready to start this!! Hell is such a subjective concept so I really wanna see Kuang’s take on it, especially knowing she drew from other portrayals in literature 👀 also curious how much that actually shows up because before Katabasis even dropped people were making MASSIVE “required reading” lists like?? not sure what that was about but now I’m intrigued to see why people were acting like that

    and hopefully this one doesn't break my heart 🥲

  • Contradictions in your reading habits

    Does anyone else have contradictory likes/dislikes when it comes to books? For instance, it usually turns me off when I read a review saying that a book was very slow or even dragging, and sometimes it even influences me to avoid picking up said book. However, when I'm reading a book and it happens to be slow, I could not care less as long as it is well written and I'm enjoying the plot/characters/vibes. Does that make any sense?

    heard great great things about this book and i'm actually surprised (in a good way) by how central the mythology is from the beginning! i've always seen people highlight the romance way more... i'm sooooo excited 👀👀 really enjoying Iris' pov

    this was absolutely stunning!! but I feel like reading it in a romance language would hit so much harder... might have to read it in portuguese next
