A review by abbyhrc
Babel by R.F. Kuang

5.0

i'm crying so hard idk how coherent this'll be but uuuh yeah i loved it ig. lol.
1) loved the characters especially ramy and robin lomls and uuuh one of them i didn't particularly LIKE but was interesting nonetheless
2) rfk has a way to depict things in such a raw and perfect manner and sometimes i feel like she's articulating things i always thought but never knew how to word, yk ??
3) loved loved LOVED the nerdy translation and literature things like seriously i love the bits of knowledge sprinkled in everywhere it's so fucking cool and also how does she store all of that in her brain
4) my eyes burn bc of all the crying i'm seriously struggling right now
5) i had so many more things to say but i forgot them all so yeah just read the book if you like academics and political commentary and stuff
