Review of 'Katabasis' on 'Goodreads'

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 ;)
