I have given up reading R. F. Kuang's novel, Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution. It was widely regarded as a leading contender for last year's Hugo award, but was removed from the ballot for reasons never made clear. I got about 20 percent of the way through it but it was not holding my interest. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes historical fantasy, which is something I occasionally read, but this one just didn't click for me. I'm now onto Alastair Reynolds' Inhibitor Phase.
