This one for me as well, but I might have considered it too Star Wars adjacent.

Thank you. In this case, it’s not about which one I’d like better, but which one is likely to be a better comp. If I’m going to revise my query letter, I’d like to do so by the new year, since December is not the best month for responses. I probably can only finish one of the two in that time period

Katabasis is based on a literary text, much like my Sherlock Holmes and adds a speculative element (like my novel) does to its source text, but Babel is closer to the historical time period I’m writing in. I’ll read both, but which should I start with? #querytrenches
