This book is an immediate, all-time fantasy classic. Like a Harry Potter that really stops and thinks before going horribly awry, Babel has more heart and consideration behind it than any work I've seen before in the "magic school" subgenre. A+ magic system. Characters so vivid it feels like you know them. I couldn't recommend it more!

“Finishing a book like this is equal parts pleasure and pain: pleasure in reading something so striking and beautiful juxtaposed by the pain of it ending. Few books have brought tears to my eyes; Kuang’s Babel is now numbered among them.”
