luceeefur 's review for:

Babel by R.F. Kuang
5.0
dark emotional medium-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: Complicated

I was bit scared that this book would not live up to all the hype, but it really did. I loved every minute I spend with this book, and I'm not emotionally recovered from the ending. I fell in love with all of the characters (yes, even Letty). 

My "shower thoughts" that seem to pervade my mind at all times frequently revolve around language and why/how the words we use got their meanings, so I particularly enjoyed all the etymological tidbits that I learned while reading.
