I picked this up for the setting. I was not disappointed. The choice of language was beautiful. It didn’t go too far into the cliché direction I was fearing- a nice change- but it felt like it didn’t have a direction to begin with. The historical and literary anecdotes were intriguing, and maybe focused on a bit too much, with regards to their place in the story. But I did overall enjoy it, even if the plot wasn’t the most exciting, as the language the book consists of, more than makes up for it.
