14 de ago. de 2023 · Review of Babel by R.F. Kuang. Overall Thoughts .

Para Robin, un huérfano cantonés que ha terminado siendo alumno en Babel, se ha dado cuenta de que servir a Babel significa traicionar a su país de origen. Y, a medida que sus estudios progresan, se ve atrapado entre babel y la misteriosa Sociedad de Hermes, una organización dedicada a impedir la expansión imperial.

Silver working--the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars--has made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empire's quest for colonization.

"Babel" also impresses with its meticulous research and intellectual rigor. The author's depth of knowledge and scholarly approach shine through in every chapter. The book is not only informative but also intellectually stimulating, inviting readers to engage deeply with its content. I enjoy all the context for actual translations.

23 de ago. de 2022 · Babel feels different from her first trilogy, but this is undoubtedly a Kuang novel. There’s a sense of inevitability in her work, each book moving toward a climactic breaking point. This carefully built momentum results in an addicting read.
