Synopsis "Katabasis: A Novel"

Pre-order now to receive the stunning DELUXE LIMITED EDITION--
only available on the first printing while supplies last! The collector's hardcover features stenciled edges, case effects, and illustrated endpapers.Dante's Inferno meets Susanna Clarke's Piranesi in this all-new dark academia fantasy from R. F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface, in which two graduate students must put aside their rivalry and journey to Hell to save their professor's soul--perhaps at the cost of their own. Katabasis, noun, Ancient Greek: The story of a hero's descent to the underworldAlice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality: her pride, her health, her love life, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge, the greatest magician in the world.That is, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault.Grimes is now in Hell, and she's going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams....Nor will the fact that her rival, Peter Murdoch, has come to the very same conclusion.With nothing but the tales of Orpheus and Dante to guide them, enough chalk to draw the Pentagrams necessary for their spells, and the burning desire to make all the academic trauma mean anything, they set off across Hell to save a man they don't even like.But Hell is not like the storybooks say, Magick isn't always the answer, and there's something in Alice and Peter's past that could forge them into the perfect allies...or lead to their doom.

The most gorgeous book to ever exist. I am still reading it so no review yet - but this edition is so pretty. The sprayed edges, the hardback (BEYOND the sleeve, too), I love how you can just have it open on a table and it'll stay open!!! Ugh. Chefs kiss. This is really good stuff.

Evaluación solo de la apariencia del libro, no de su contenido. (Cuando lo lea editaré la evaluación). El libro que recibí es exactamente igual al de la foto al momento de la compra. Es la edición especial con tapa dura para Estados Unidos (especifico porque para otras partes como UK, la edición es diferente). Tiene la sobrecubierta verde y hermosos cantos pintados. Las guardas también son verde oscuro con texto, dibujos y ecuaciones. Las páginas son blancas y con una ligerísima transparencia que no se percibe mucho. Aunque el libro no llegó en caja tuve la suerte de que llegó sin daño alguno. Sé que el libro tiene evaluaciones mixtas pero al ver que estaba en venta por $11 dólares valía mucho la pena. Del envío no digo nada porque el tiempo de entrega a Puerto Rico es horrible y, frecuentemente, he tenido que esperar hasta un mes o más por un paquete.

Hermosa edición, con un montón de detalles tanto por fuera como por dentro y en el canto del libro. El envío tanto en tiempo y forma superó las expectativas.
