insipidly dull so far, & a deeply uninteresting interpretation of hell for all that she is clearly trying to be clever & creative with it (i have simply read too much classic weird fiction with all its hells of terrible splendor to find endless plains of sand & dust & some very lazy attempts at non-euclidean geography at all interesting), & interspersed with endless asides of academia & linguistic etymology? for why

i'm sure i've seen more sexless depictions of lust than we got in their little sojourn through the court of desire here but i'd be hard pressed to think of them. embarrassingly awkward, like an alien had googled "weird fetishes and kinks," all overlaid with a smug sense of superiority that our MC was Better Than That. all our degrees & the best we can come up with for names are "bone-things" & "barge-type thing."

lmao. five pages in & we are talking about bringing lembas bread with us into hell as though it is a food that actually exists & not fantasy elven bread invented by tolkien for lord of the rings. this paragraph is also just soooooo: "to be honest she had never gotten around to trying proust, but cambridge had made her the kind of person who wanted to have read proust, and she figured hell was a good place to start"
