livzaia_ 's review for:

Babel by R.F. Kuang
4.0

AT LAST i did it. she has been conquered. i enjoyed this! soooo full of research and musings on language which were unique and interesting (though got a little relentless near the end). the worldbuilding was delish and creative. i Do think it couldve been like 100 pages shorter though, and that the author did what she tends to do (which is go so hard on the didactic that it loses its potency), but i was kinda expecting that. feeling ready for katabasis now
