BABEL by R.F. Kuang

This dark academia fantasy follows a Chinese boy recruited to Britain’s Royal Institute of Translation, where silver-working magic requires precise translations between matched word pairs. Equal parts historical fantasy and scathing colonial critique, this novel combines intellectual puzzles with revolutionary tension.

What makes it addicting: Intricate magical theory, complex moral questions, and mounting revolutionary tension.
