The writing is captivating, I did not expect to like this as much as I did! R.F. Kuang is my favorite author right now. She’s a literature genius and I can’t wait to get my hands on Katabasis!

#2 in the series. Just as good as small spaces which is rare for sequels! I did not read the summary before engaging - BUT adding it still feels like cheating cause it IS a sequel so the context of the book was somewhat already there you know :p
Small Spaces Quartet Dead Voices, (Paperback)
