If anyone needs me, I’ll be reading Katabasis. I scored one of the first library holds and get to read it right when it came out!

Based on an Ancient Greek story of Xenophon’s Anabasis and Katabasis ?

I’m not super familiar with Xenophon, but katabasis as in descent, and more Dante’s inferno, I think

Seems likely there are themes from that in this book then!
