"it's getting really interesting now! i like the idea of the magic system a lot. i like where the characters are going. only thing i'm not entirely sold on yet is the writing style. for a book so focused on linguistics and the way language shapes reality, some phrases and the style in general feels a bit too modern? i'll talk about it more in the review" — Sep 24, 2022 09:09AM
