"One of these won some big award, so I skipped ahead thinking it was this one. If so, then it was unwarranted. What read like world/character building in the first two installments, has calcified into a rote series of descriptors re: mechanical workings and fight scenes. BLERG." Oct 19, 2025 08:21AM

Robert Jackson Bennett
“My eye fell on the sack of talints at my feet, and I reflected that now I really could just walk away with them, if I liked. Yet I decided that the odds of a solitary young criminal with a huge fortune on his person making it through a highly patrolled road that was often pestered with murderous deserters would either be slim to none or none at all. So instead of committing robbery, I made tea.”
Robert Jackson Bennett, The Tainted Cup

R.F. Kuang
“Hell's not so bad for the people who are in it. They're exactly where they wanted to be.”
R.F. Kuang, Katabasis

R.F. Kuang
“Dante’s account was so distracted with spiteful potshots that the reportage got lost within. T. S. Eliot had supplied some of the more recent and detailed landscape descriptions on record, but The Waste Land was so self-referential that its status as a sojourner’s account was under serious dispute. Orpheus’s notes, already in archaic Greek, were largely in shreds like the rest of him. And Aeneas—well, that was all Roman propaganda. Possibly”
R.F. Kuang, Katabasis

Robert Jackson Bennett
“Oh, don’t bother with discretion now!” she said. “You’ve all the prudence of an inebriated cow! I’m half surprised people don’t gossip that you are a whore for hire, and I your pimp! It’d all be very amusing, if the reason for your consternation weren’t so obvious!”
Robert Jackson Bennett, A Drop of Corruption

R.F. Kuang
“You want me to pretend that I love you.”
“It’s easy,” he said. “Just assume our wills are united.”
“What does that mean?”
“Well, that we want all the same things. That we want what’s best for each other. That we take one another’s ends as our own, and that our ideal outcome is one in which we’re together. Haven’t you ever been in love?”
R.F. Kuang, Katabasis
