embi 's review for:

The Art of Language Invention: From Horse-Lords to Dark Elves to Sand Worms, the Words Behind World-Building by David J. Peterson

4.0

An interesting look at linguistics from the other side, so to speak. Definitely useful if you want to try creating a language but don't know where to start.

The only real downside is Peterson's tendency to get sidetracked by 'humerous' tangents.
