Babel: An Arcane History by R.F. Kuang

5.0

Babel is so different from Poppy Wars I am just in awe of Kuang’s talent and versatility. The writing and character development are a lot more mature. She has such a skill in writing friendships and interpersonal dynamics and the complexities of platonic relationships. In addition to the writing the story was fantastic. The anti-colonialism was raw and apt. It took me a long time to read and it was worth every minute.
