A proposito di questo titolo

Welcome to 50/50 Books - the book review podcast where the books are split in two and figuring out just what is going on is always a toss up! Hosts Taylor and Jonathan discuss each book in two episodes. First, they read about half the book (they'll let you know where to read to) and provide thoughts and theories. In the second episode, they'll see just how much they got wrong (a lot) and talk about their overall reviews, thoughts, and remaining confusions.50/50 Books Arte Storia e critica della letteratura

    Jan 23 2026

    Alice Law has only ever cared about being the brightest and the best in the field of Magick, which, of course, means working with Cambridge professor Jacob Grimes, the greatest magician there is. However, things take a dive when Grimes dies in a magical accident, and it’s an accident that could be Alice’s fault. Now, with Grimes in hell, Alice is descending after him, knowing his recommendation means everything for her future, though it seems her rival, Peter Murdoch, has similar ideas.

    This episode we’re finishing up Katabasis by R.F. Kuang!
