Babel-17, winner of the Nebula Award for best novel of the year, is a fascinating tale of a famous poet bent on deciphering a secret language that is the key to the enemy's deadly force, a task that requires she travel with a splendidly improbable crew to the site of the next attack.

great book, interesting premise

So I love many of the concepts, but the interpersonal relationships really reduced many of the characters to just functions of the plot, pieces of a puzzle - and sometimes they just weren’t people enough. And that feels about right for the era of science-fiction in which is was written.
I think if this had been written now it would have been a whole trilogy with some more multilayered character development and some more accessible world building.
But!!! All of the things that didn’t work for me are well worth getting to the end, like a good mystery. It needs about two more chapters of ending though…
Interesting concepts, but weird characters
