Babel, R.F. Kuang

 

Babel Or, The Necessity of Violence: An arcane history of the Oxford translators' revolution by R. F. Kuang is a book by the author of the Poppy Wars.  I really could not stomach those novels, so I'm hoping this one is not as gory.

Review:

I liked the idea, the world building, and the writing.  The gore was more than I could handle.  There were sections of this book that were unputdownable.  There were sections that I simply did not want to read.  I doubt I will pick up another book by Kuang.
