patchoulijoes 's review for:

Babel by R.F. Kuang

Hannah Says:
"I sat on this review for so long… this book will stay with me for a while. It was a difficult read at times, where it felt like the exposition would never end and scenes drawn out,  but the attention to detail was immaculate and it truly made me think.

Kuang so perfectly encapsulates how every person can experience and react to discrimination/oppression in each of her characters. Also, the final scenes of this book were so hard to read because I sobbed so hard. 

She is a master of her craft and I can’t wait to read more of her work."
