Let's talk about why RF Kuang's latest book, Katabasis, is receiving mixed reviews from fans. I share my theory about how readers' expectations, shaped by her previous works like The Poppy War Trilogy, Babel, and Yellowface, influence their reception of Katabasis.
I also provide a detailed critique of the book, discussing its plot, themes, and characters. Additionally, I compare Katabasis to Kuang's earlier works and consider whether the backlash is warranted. Please join me and share in the comments your thoughts on RF Kuang's books and your reading experiences.
