The language in the novel is appropriate for its time period, although the author does not directly explain certain words used to describe period-specific clothes, architectural structures, or forms of entertainment. Through the context, however, the reader gradually becomes familiar with terms like tunic, tiltyard, or tourneys. This appropriate language adds realism to a story that is set in a specific historical context.
