The idea is fantastic but the execution is dire. If you don't have a decent grasp of Latin, you're going to be very confused. 

That is not the worst, however. Vis somehow manages to hit the rightful heir, chosen one, a drags to riches tropes all at once while being the Mary Sue-est of Mary Sues. Throw in some plot chasms, plot changes, characters magically appearing and disappearing, and the casual altering of the world's logic and there you go. It's unfortunate.
