I don't think I have the words to describe the masterpiece I've just read.
Like it feels so real. Ofc magic doesn't exist in the real world but everything else does. And it is so wrong. The amount of thinking about the world brought by this book is just impossible to describe!
It feels like Poppy war but seen by the people of colonised country living in England. To me the books complete themselves perfectly (and are amazing)
I highly recommend reading Babel and Poppy war !!
