Babel is an absolutely gripping dark academia fantasy. R. F. Kuang weaves a magical Oxford where silver-working - the source of the British Empire's power - is fueled by the essence of translation. Follow Robin Swift as he confronts the crushing reality that the knowledge he gains comes directly from colonial exploitation. This book is a brilliant, beautiful challenge.

This epic is King at his most inventive and heart-stirring. While the initial suburban setup is a minor drag, the book becomes a non-stop, glorious ride once the portal opens. It is a spectacular, emotional, and satisfying adventure that successfully bridges the gap between horror and high fantasy.
