Babel: An Arcane History by R.F. Kuang
4.0
4.5
I feel like I am alone when I say that I absolutely loved the craft and tone of the first half much more than the second.
I hoped that the events that eventually played out, as well as the characters, were a little more fleshed out, but I still deeply enjoyed the social commentary on British Imperialism
I loved how much inspiration Kuang took from Susanna Clarke with her approach to writing this book, the footnotes really added a nice touch for some historical context.
