Book Review: ‘Babel: An Arcane History’ by R.F. Kuang
Babel by R.F. Kuang made me feel a range of emotions. It made me uncomfortable and frustrated at political and social justice issues. It made me long for the friendships I gained while in school, and the carefree days we would have. It made me ache for the characters and the numerous situations they were put in, and the realization of why they were put in them. Babel made me want to learn every language ever recorded, and then Babel made me also realize I am too old and unfocused. It made me root for certain characters, it made me tense when I thought they were going to be hurt, it made me want to punch others in the face.
