I struggled to connect with most of the characters, the best written was the worst person which I thought was a nice change. I enjoyed the language based magic as some of the descriptions were fantastic. The book weirdly fell flat when things started actually happening however the end did redeem the book slightly especially the final few pages with Robin.
