Let me say first that it is a joy to read a fantasy book that does not glorify the feudal class structure. I enjoyed the discussions of language and the concept of a magic that works by the unacknowledged connections between words in various languages. That said, I do agree with the readers who felt that, too often, they were reading a lecture.

Loved the writing but the characters are so annoying (except for Victoire), I’d actually loved to read more about her 
At some point it got harder to read because I was bored of Robin, so I think that the book could be shorter. But I liked the ending
