150 pages into Babel by R. F. Kuang and it feels like nobody explained "show don't tell" to her
#i hope it gets better#there are these long ass lectures given by the characters#but rarely indication towards their facial expressions or body language beyond “theyre excited/angry/sad”#given that its a da/fantasy book set at an awe-inspiring place the actual descriptions are lacking#i know the focus are the languages#but those places feel as dead as latin#i genuinely hope it gets better#everybody seems to love it#i hope its actually a good book and not just a tiktok fad#the themes are promising#but its hard getting lost in a book that just doesnt manage to bring pictures to my mind#i hate to say it but the oppenheimer biography is more well written than this and way more descriptive#and its a fucking autobiography based on interviews and fbi files
