You know how the song goes. Lyla Sage writes western romances, and TikTok girlies love a good themed romance. "Done and Dusted" will either make you want to move to Wyoming, or never go there at all.

Hell is other people. Academia is hell. Those all sound like enticing reasons to read "Katabasis" by R. F. Kuang. And while they are prevalent themes, there's also Kuang's typical dive into logic and linguistics. So is it worth the ride?
