In a world just parallel to ours exists a mystical realm known only as the Gardens. It’s a place where feasts never end, games of croquet have devastating consequences, and teenagers are punished for growing up. For a select group of masters, it’s a decadent paradise where time stands still. But for those who serve them, it’s a slow torture where their lives can be ended in a blink. In a bid to escape before their youth betrays them, Dora and Thistle - best friends and confidants - set out on a remarkable journey through time and space.

Great book

Great story, strong world-building, impeccable narration and one of the best villains I’ve read on years. Very twisted fairy tale vibe, with a delicious eeriness throughout. Take a chance on this one.

1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation—also known as Babel. Babel is the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver working—the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars—has made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empire’s quest for colonization.

Where was the editor?
Revisado: 03-07-23
There is certainly a solid story in here somewhere, but this book just plods along at a snail’s pace. I think it’s great when authors do strong world building, but this book reads like every single thought the author had about this world made it into the final draft. By the time things actually started to get going in earnest (like 2/3 of the way through) it had already lost me and I wasn’t willing to slog through more to find out how it ended. It could have been good, but the editor - if there even was one - was asleep at the wheel.
