Babel

R.F. Kuang

I did in fact sob my way through the last few chapters

Once the choice was made, I just couldn’t stop crying. My heart is aching so badly for Robin. When he said the world ended when Ramy was killed, he meant it.

You know those lyrics

“I have a feeling you got everything you wanted, and you’re not wasting time stuck here like me… the world ended when it happened to me”

That’s what this feels like.

BRB going to make a spotify playlist for Babel

mine is a play on my nickname (meds) and my socials which all align with my name + related verb, so for this one it’s ‘reads’, but for substack it’s ‘writes’
