Mr B’s Top Books of 2025 – Charlotte G

We’re counting down to Christmas with Team B’s books of the year… here’s Charlotte G’s shortlist, with Katabasis by R.F. Kuang taking the coveted top spot!

Haunted by her role in the gruesome death of her professor, Cambridge student Alice Law makes the dangerous descent into hell to bargain for his soul. But the deadly obstacles she must overcome reveal she may know less about the truth than she realised. Charlotte says: “Kuang takes us on an immersive journey, blending the magical with the emotional. A carefully crafted tale that reminds us of the importance of friendship, forgiveness and staying true to your beliefs.”
