A Helpful Review From the Past
Though I was aware of the wonderful review for ‘The Heart of Hannen’ written by Jess the Romanceaholic which was posted on Goodreads and Amazon, I just recently came across a more detailed version on her website which expressed the following view on the Atriian language.
"One thing that initially put me off, but that I ended up truly loving, was the invented language of Atriia. It was disconcerting at first to have these characters speaking in what almost sounded like Hollywood’s idea of Old English, but as the story progressed, the language became second nature for the reader just as it did for Christine. I personally think that this was a brilliant move on the author’s part, because it really helped to not only immerse you into the world of Atriia, but also helped connect with Christine, as she struggled to learn the language and adapt to the differences between Atriia and our world."
I found this particularly enlightening. I have had similar responses from other readers who were thrown off by the Atriian language at first, but by the end had embraced it. Thank you so much, Jess, for this informative review. I’m anxious to see what you have to say about Book II, The Leader of Lors.
