Welcome back to Novels and Nightcaps — the podcast where we read, drink, and ramble (and sometimes question why we bothered opening a second bottle).
This week, we’re descending into Katabasis by R.F. Kuang — a book that promises a journey to hell but somehow forgets to make it hot. We’re talking stagnant protagonists, magic that barely shows up, and a descent so slow it feels like waiting in line for the underworld.
So grab your drink and join us as we try to find the fire in a story that left us lukewarm at best.
