Babel by R.F. Kuang

adventurous dark emotional inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This book is extremely heavy but also so needed. The characters feel so real and the complicated emotions drive the story. I hurt for them and cried with them. 
The linguistics nerd in me was drawn to this book but the victim of religious trauma found a bit of healing. 
I highly recommend.
