The Memory of Babel by Christelle Dabos

Used. Paperback. If you thought navigating bureaucratic red tape on solid ground was a nightmare, try hunting for truth on Babel, a planet made of dizzying, floating celestial arks where missing memories can be just as lethal as a knife in the dark. Christelle Dabos returns us to her brilliantly bizarre epic fantasy world, plunging our favorite reluctant archivist deeper into a labyrinth of divine deception and dizzying intrigue. It is an exquisitely crafted puzzle box of a novel that balances staggering world-building with delightfully prickly character dynamics. Grab a seat and strap in, because this soaring sequel proves that the higher you climb in Babel, the harder things fall.
