The way that language was portrayed and used in this book was just so fucking good, like I have absolutely no words to describe how fucking good the system of languages being resources for colonialism for further exploit was just so well done. The fact that we see Robin go from who he was in the beginning to what he became, it was all so fucking well done I am like speechless l.

I wanna fucking cry over how beautiful this book was

Reading Bable for a book club, though I've had it on my TBR for awhile, and I think that I could write an entire essay on Chapter 2 alone. Because as an immigrant -- albeit white immigrant (and yes that distinction is very important) -- the conversation about learning the language of a country you immigrated to vs your native language is so relatable. Particularly around forgetting your native language if you don't practice it, about not being able to understand all the nuance of reading a text in a new language because you don't understand the context behind them. I'm both sad and excited about finding it so relatable.

Babel - R.F. Kuang

Short review:

It took me six months to finish this book. I never DNFd it because I did like the characters and I wanted to see what happened to them. This book was intriguing and thought provoking and dealt with what could be considered delicate points very head on and very impressively. The point and subject matter of this book were very well done, my issues with it were more with the story and the writing itself. I understand why the timeline in this book was set up this way, with us starting with the main character, Robin, when he was a child and following him through almost every year of his life until the end of the book, however it took me until the last three-ish pages to understand why. It felt like we would focus on less important years in his life and then skip years while he was at Oxford, arguably the most important of his years in the book. I wonder if the ending impact would had been the same if the book started with his final year at Oxford and we saw flashbacks to his previous years. There were also times we were told instead of shown such as about Robin and his friends having inside jokes and laughing until they cried in the early hours of the morning, but we never saw those jokes. It made the characters fall a bit flat when dramatic things happened. That being said, I did cry at the end of this book and was very shocked by the major plot points. I also really enjoyed getting to see how drastically Robin had changed at the end of the book and being able to see what kind of path he had chosen to take, which could be considered as not the usual path of a hero. The other thing that bothered me was the magic system. This may have been an issue on my part, but it was hard for me to understand how the silver bars worked and predict what the charters could do with the bars to get out of predicaments. Maybe people with more language experience than me could understand it better. Overall, I think Babel is an interesting step into a world of could-have-been and deals with many hard hitting topics very importantly and in unexpected ways.
