WOW! So fun and a wonderful read, extremely graphic but captivating imagery, and the dialogue felt quite alive. Babel was my first book by R.F. Kuang and I’m reading Katabasis currently, so I’m enjoying this change of genre from intense academia into mythos and military (still dark themes).
A common critique I hear of the writing is that the subtext is explicitly written out, however I feel it didn’t detract from the weight of the messages the characters were trying to underscore. In war especially, there should never be room for assumptions lol
Super excited and looking forward to starting book #2!
