A review by saramdeuri
Babel by R.F. Kuang
5.0
this book is everything and more than people have said. absolutely phenomenal, manages to reach each goal it sets out to accomplish and then surpasses them. i honestly don't know what more i could say about this than has already been said.
the parts about translation were illuminating in just how eloquently they were expressed - i've read academic pieces on translation and this book explained most of what they were saying in a few paragraphs of dialogue. everything else was so well-written, also.
Kuang really knows what she's talking about, and what she wants to fight for. I will be thinking about this book for a very, very long time.
