Babel: An Arcane History by R.F. Kuang

adventurous dark emotional slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

2.5

I went in blind not sure if this was going to be for me. I was curious about the genre and for a while I enjoyed it, but for me it started to drag on and it felt a bit repetitive. 
I was also aware that the book had been quite hyped up and popular for a while, but tried to steer away from that when reading. 
In the end it didn’t work out for me, I did finish it, but some points were predictable and I even cringed once, which is don’t often do.
