Two graduate students must set aside their rivalry and journey to Hell to save their professor’s soul, perhaps at the cost of their own.

Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality—her pride, her health, her love life, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge, the greatest magician in the world—that is, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault.

Grimes is now in Hell, and she’s going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands, and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams. Nor will the fact that her rival, Peter Murdoch, has come to the same conclusion.

It would be 2 stars but damn Kuang knows how to write. I guess I worked myself up a bit after Babel but that's a steep cliff to fall from. Anyway... Too much romance and too much banality for my sake, but then again an Alice and a Peter chasing down logical rabbit holes, I should have expected banal. I guess I will have to wait for her next novel to see if she rises back to the high standards she herself has drawn. Still to be honest there is a lot of good and interesting ideas in the book, but there are parts of it frankly too much akin to psycholove drama. Not my corner, simple as that ;)
