KATABASIS R.F. Kuang Review - This Book Destroyed Us in the Best Way

R.F. Kuang’s Katabasis isn’t just another dark academia fantasy. It’s a descent into the underworld of intellect, guilt, and ambition. Two rival grad students, Alice Law and Peter Murdoch, literally go to Hel to save their mentor, but what they find there says more about academia, power structures, and more than it does about demons. Set in Cambridge, Katabasis turns the university into its own inferno, powered by obsession, genius worship, and the belief that brilliance excuses everything. It’s sharp, haunting, and kind of unhinged. In this episode, we’re breaking down: How academia becomes its own circle of Hel Why ambition and morality can’t coexist here The pull between logic, memory, and madness What it means to lose yourself in the pursuit of knowledge Why Katabasis might be our favorite 📲 Follow us on Instagram → / always.bookd 🌐 Visit our website → https://www.alwaysbooked.net Video Chapters: 0:00–1:40 What Katabasis Is Really About 1:41–3:55 First Impressions and Takeaways 3:56–5:35 Hel, Humor, and Magic Systems 5:36–8:00 Pacing and Descent Into the Underworld 8:01–10:32 Characters and Rivals Dynamics 10:33–12:14 The Devil, Identity, and Culture 12:15–16:27 Logic, Math, and the Rules of Magic 16:28–19:52 Power, Abuse, and Feminism 19:53–23:02 The Ending, Passing, and Closure 23:03–29:01 Grimes, Academia, and Moral Corruption 29:02–43:39 Memory, Meaning, and Final Ratings ✨ Subscribe for more dark academia breakdowns, book discussions, and chaotic literary therapy sessions. #Katabasis #RFKuang #DarkAcademia #BookAnalysis #FantasyBooks #LiteraryFiction #BookTok #BookTube #AlwaysBooked
