This month, Ian wanted to read R.F. Kuang's: Babel! Babel is the story of a young Cantonese boy named Robin who is brought to England and raised to work at the Oxford Translation Institute. In this version of England, the empire is powered by silver working and a magical version of language translation. Babel follows Robin and his friends Ramy, Victoire, and Letty as they navigate the world and find their place in it. Babel offers a lot of cultural criticism and broaches interesting topics including language, history, and colonialism, and tells it through an interesting, academic lens. We both loved it!
 
Next month, we're reading: "This Is How You Lose the Time War" by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone!
