Babel, or The Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution by R. F. Kuang · Book review

Sort of like an alternative history British empire where they gain their power through magic that's powered by translation (hence the name Babel).

It felt a bit weird though, like the book was shitting on the British empire (and rightly so) but via the alternate magic history version of the British empire.. like why though. Just shit on it directly or not at all thanks
