hazel must be one of the stupidest main characters I've ever come across. she does not put two and two together, even if the answer is right in front of her. she makes speculations based on one thing and ignoring the other hundred proving her speculations wrong. I'm so tired of this. this reads like a ya, like a fan fiction. I wanted a gothic, serious book about Mormonism in the 19th century. got a love story.

I usually don't mind 'no plot just vibes' books but they have to give me SOMETHING. there really is nothing happening. this could've been an email.

*using the word "simply" three times in the span of two sentences*

"oh, hello, Griffin 😼"

"they'd chosen a good day for revolution." as the opening of a chapter


how did the author of poppy war, one of the best fantasy series I've ever read, write something like babel, so boring and mid? I'm honestly so disappointed with it. been reading it for 2 months because I genuinely couldn't be bothered.

why is this so unbelievably long

so far this is giving "I'm fifteen and this book is my introduction to critical thinking and colonialism, therefore it's amazing". idk, feels pretty shallow. and the magic system ruins the whole thing. could be easily done without it.

číst tohle když čekám na feedback překladu a stresuju se ve třetím ročníku nebyl úplně nejlepší nápad ale oh well

it bores me to death tbh

kinda crazy that absolutely nothing was happening in the first 100 pages and now it just turned by 180°
