It took me a few chapters, maybe 50 pages, to finally settle into the style, the pace, the unfamiliar words, but once I did... This is a stunning work of political linguistic fiction. It plays lightly with romance subplots, while it weaves an incredible story about a world where the language is the culture. I thoroughly enjoyed sinking into this one, a chapter at a time, and I look forward to book 2 next year.
