No tengo jodidas palabras para definir esto, no las tengo! Es brutal

I really love the language issues and cultural pitfalls in this one, but the author’s absolute incompetence at Latin to the effect of not even noticing English words remaining in the output of whatever translator they used and the ignorance shown in responding to comments pointing the most glaringly obvious one out are aggravating.
Nice to read how the questions got raised in the first place when we’ve already seen them asked.
All in all, quite okay and well enough thought-out. The worldbuilding alone…
A bit miffing is that they are always shown as superiour. There’s bound to be things that people in the Middle Ages simply weren’t capable of.

Unfortunately the last bits of pretentious 5-20 yr old Eva that I haven't been able to shake include but are not limited to: using long words and seven of them where one four letter word would do, looking down on people who don't enjoy reading for no good reason, and still loving Severus Snape.
Since this update completely lacked any significant traces of him it was a trifle less enjoyable (if a very fun exercise in linguistics and politics), so I'm looking forward to the next one.

This is where the series starts to come into its own: It provides the backstory of the protagonist, Nizar, back during the founding of Hogwarts around 980. It's extremely well-researched regarding the realities of the British Isles back then, including the multitude of languages and kingdoms, their squabbling relations, the international nature of Europe, and much more. (To be clear: this is my version of a glowing review. I live for this shit.)
I nearly made it a five-star book when I realised that it even intentionally makes the spring equinox take place on March 15th due to calendar drift, which makes me be fucking in love.

This one's my favourite so far! As an old English lit student I thoroughly appreciate all the references to and jokes about the different languages spoken on the Isles. I adore the answers this book finally provides and just the entire atmosphere of it. And I just love the deepening of the world and the magic system and the further development of the characters and their behaviour, beliefs and backstory!!
