Babel by R.F. Kuang
3.5
adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced

I enjoyed how this story went in unexpected directions. It's heavy with foreign languages. And full of references of both the historical and literary variety. I think it was done well but that's not my favorite troupe. I find it portentous and that lowers my enjoyment level.
