hahahaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa i thought i was ready for this book! i'd read the poppy war trilogy! i'm familiar with the time period, with academia, with interrogations of empire!
reader, i was not ready. Babel is more ambitious, more brilliant, more upsetting, more satisfying, than i could have imagined. it's a love letter and a declaration of war. it's The Secret History on the scale of empire; it's Jonathan Strange with teeth.
god speed, babblers. <3

I wasn’t remotely ready either! Your description is perfect though.
“It’s The Secret History on the scale of empire” is the most apt description possible. Glorious!
Your review is my favorite so far. I’m in full agreement and love your phrasing.
Such an endorsement!
I’ll be a babbler, I loved this book! I can’t wait for the next book she writes!
