  • Still working my way through Katabasis by RF Kuang.

    I am enjoying it, it does not feel as, I guess, academic as Babel did in that most of what is talked about academically in the book is around classic literature and philosphies about hell.

    I think one thing that is going to annoy me with book will be the same as Babel, we have this alternate reality where magic plays a major role in things and i want to explore that so much more. How does it work? How was it discovered? How did it affect things? The book makes direct reference to WW2 and if magic is real to an extent how did it change thingsm




  • He may just be saying shit at this point. He cannot believe he will finish the story and wants to have as many seeds out there so if someone else finishes it, their bases are covered saying it was all his plan from the start.

    Also I remember reading all of these multiple times and my thought throughout was if anyone survives it all it was going to be Sansa.

    Not because she was the most sinister or most coniving but because she was always going to be a pawn and would stab the last man/woman standing. It was going to be pure dumb luck she lived through it all.
