I went into this extremely excited knowing it involved linguistics and anarchism, but WOW did this book drag! It was insanely long-winded with periods of me questioning, "Was this really necessary to the story?" I think many authors feel longer is better. It came across as a book written to be a movie rather than to be a book. Large amounts of cheese, overly convenient chosen-one story, and it didn't even end up involving that much linguistics.
