Babel by R.F. Kuang
5.0
‘Nice comes from the Latin word for “stupid”,’ said Griffin. ‘We do not want to be nice.’
This book blew me away. Everyone seems to love it and so I thought I would to, of course but I had no idea that I wouldn’t be able to put this (long for me) book down. I went to sleep thinking about this story and I woke up needing to know what happens next. It was all consuming in a way my friends might have found annoying over the holidays (I’m sorry). The description of language sometimes felt overwhelming but it was necessary for the plot and really added by the end.
This is necessary reading that is also worth the time for the story and writing. Please read it
