A review by lyloster
Babel by R.F. Kuang

adventurous challenging dark reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

I find it absolutely tragic that we never learned the main character's name. Maybe that was the point. Maybe struggle has no single name. Maybe learning it would take away from it. Maybe Robin was good enough. 

Beautifully written book, powerful prose. At times the story dragged, at times it had a bit of a Harry Potter vibe, but ultimately it was an amazing book.
