Any well-written "rebellion" stories in Fantasy? Particularly those that tackles the motivations and effective methods for rebellion in an intricate political setting?
Essentially, I'm looking for what Babel by R.F. Kuang tried to do.
I liked Baru Cormorant because it did this very well- particularly because it addressed the difficulty of fighting oppressors without trying to hurt the oppressed.
[And in Babel >!the MC just decides that violence is necessary and the lower classes have to suffer to hurt those at the top, !<which feels wrong to me and a cop-out.]
