A review by cedence
Babel by R.F. Kuang
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
I tried reading this book when it first released, but my brain was exhausted by uni, I found no space or enjoyment in reading. Later, I tried the audiobook, and it just didn't hook me. Now, I just stare at it.
While I understand that many find this to be an extremely good book and I believe it likely have something to tell if I only was able to read it, I now know that's very unlikely to happen in any forseeable future.
As with many DA\Academia books, the slow pacing is boring me. Fast. The descriptions are too many and I don't care enough for the characters despite how well theme and goals has been stated in the early chapters. The way I would have to read this book - in sips and pieces - to stay focused and enjoy it would take me months, only a few pages at a time, and I'm not up for that.
Maybe it will come back to me in the future, but this read has defeated me as of right now.
