I'm trying to find any redeemable qualities that make me feel better for the time I spent reading it. I could have put it down, but the raving reviews made me think that it would get better.

It didn't.

I loathed it. With passion.

I thought the linguistics part was great. Super fascinating and in depth and well explored.

The magic, historical fantasy and basically the rest of the book was awful.
