My review:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Babel by R F Kuang is a fantasy where language can be used to enchant silver bars.
R F Kuang is a great grimdark author, and this is a dark academic fantasy story, set in a different Oxford.
I found the cast of characters to be interesting, with lots going on.
This is a big book, and has a lot of detail, characters that you might not empathise with, and other grimdark element, but I did enjoy the story and the adventure it took me on!
I really enjoyed listening to this storm. The voice acting added to the story.
I was given access to this audiobook in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to HarperCollins.
