Nope. No. Nuh uh. Not doing it. Reading phonetic writing is annoying enough when it’s just spoken lines to make it an accent, but I am not committing to a full story in this nonsense. No way. I’m out.

It was hard to like this one, not because of the story or characters, but because of the language. I'm not sure why it was written the way it was, it could be a very old English, but it reminded me of the Scottish version of Harry Potter, so it could actually be written in old accented English. It was hard for me to understand, I still have no idea what "ken" and "ain" are. Still, from what I could understand about the story, it was pretty interesting. I just wished it was in English that I do understand. Or at least, that there was a discussion about it so I could have a better grasp of what was really going on.
