The story takes a while to pick up and it took me a long time to connect with the main character (probably because she’s so young in the beginning), but once it got going I thoroughly enjoyed it! Languages fascinate me and this book kept me curious to discover more and find out if anything ever happened to the lost words. I even liked the love interest, which is always a plus.
