westernskynaida 's review for:
Babel: An Arcane History
by R.F. Kuang
Man, our bookclub picked the worst year to read this…
It took me 3 formats before I was finally able to get through this book (started with physical, tried ebook and finally landed on audiobook)
This book is a beautiful telling of effects of colonialism, feminism and revolt (I’m sure I missed some ideals as well)
The first third of the book takes quite a while to get through but then once things fall into place, it’s like you’re on a marathon and your only reprieve is when they give you glasses of water or oranges
If you choose to read this, just be aware there are some heavy topics and be prepared
