A review by madelyncantu
Babel, by R.F. Kuang

4.0

This book was soul crushing, fascinating, and beautiful. This was my first foray into the "dark academia" genre, thank you Tiktok. It was also my first time reading anything by R.F. Kuang. It amazes me that someone can write so well that they keep you enthralled in a longer, dense book such as Babel. I've added the first book in her Poppy Wars trilogy to my reading list for sure.
