Have you read Babel by R.F. Kuang? Did you like it? (lemmy.zip)

I'm trying to find any redeemable qualities that make me feel better for the time I spent reading it. I could have put it down, but the raving reviews made me think that it would get better.

It didn't.

I loathed it. With passion.

I thought the Poppy War was pretty bad. Killed my motivation to read anything else from her.

I disliked Poppy War too, but Babel sounded just like the kind of book I'd love. Now I've decided I won't read more stuff from Kuang in a while, she's not for me, at least right now.
