minervaxyz 's review for:

Babel by R.F. Kuang
3.0
adventurous informative medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Overrated. Not bad though. I wish it would have been more dark academia, and I was kind angry (obviously sad but mainly angry) that after all the chemistry buildup
Ramy
  died. I wish they had at least a moment for themselves, I feel like that way they characters would have been closer to my heart and the final ⅓ of the book would have more impactful.

It was incredibly addicting and I admire the level of research that went with it too.
