solypoly 's review for:

Babel by R.F. Kuang
5.0
challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The more I think about this book the more brilliant I think it is. Every element is excellent: plot, characters, themes. Like it’s one thing to have the most interesting magic system I’ve ever read but to have it be so interesting AND perfectly parallel imperialist exploitation  on top of that. Like hats off RF Kuang is a genius.
