Babel is very much dark academia, with heavy academia themes, so I don't think it gets much faster if you got to him starting at the university. I really enjoyed the social commentary though, and if you didn't reach his first day at university I would recommend trying again.


The audiobook is also really good and the narrator actually knows Chinese.

I have the physical copy and the audiobook, but I'm just not swept up by anything. I thought the first chapter was probably the most interesting, and until he started learning his first languages. The commentary is nice because I don't know much of that history so it add depth to it. But I'm sorta just waiting for something that attach me to the character(s) so far because I'm not engaged

Oh! Then it might just not be your kind of book. I don't really think the characters get much more interesting or a change in dynamic. More action and political themes do pop up however.

I have this thing where I'm like "I love dark academia" but also I don't like the reading experience at all. I just think I want to like dark academia more than I do. And the book is a brick! And I think it just doesn't vibe with me right now since I've been failing to commit to any book for months due to uni work and just being stressed out and overwhelmed. I might have to take it up in summer when things are chiller. (I do love Vita Nostra tho)

Its honestly fair, because whenever I recommend it I have to double check if it's Zafon and not Rothfuss hahaha.

I hope you find it, because it's good! It is like a mystery book but with less crime.
