The author is also clearly pulling a lot of Christian themes and while that could have been a neutral aspect of the book, it's clearly something that the author wants to drive home to the reader. It's not a period specific book, so it's not as though the characters are speaking in a "different dialect" of English that isn't common any longer. That said, the dialog was difficult in the sense that there were several occasions where suspension of disbelief was difficult to maintain. The world building is somewhat enjoyable, in my head I was imagining regions of the UK and/or Ireland based on some of the descriptions. This book is a nice, quick read - good for a "rainy day". This was the same forum that recommended The Paper Magician, so perhaps not the most ideal place that I should be hunting for book recommendations for serious reading. I started reading this book on a recommendation from a different forum.
