Really funny in many subtle ways this author worded things. Also, The MC's voice gaining vocabulary through the book was a impressively done. One of my favorite quotes from later in the book. "Uhhhn, quoth I."
The slang the author created. Immaculate and immersive into exactly what you would picture a 18th century steampunk past-dystopia would sound like.
Many of the story elements went under the radar for me due to that slang, though. I had to focus heavily on the words, wordplay, & context that some of the plot drowned out in the noise, sadly. Especially during some of the more densely action packed sections.
