comment on style /language

The language used is old English, with many types of old Gaelic, Germanic, and Latin/Roman words, as would have been utilized during this period of history. Many of the words, such as 'bothy' for tent, have long gone out of use in the common contemporary language, but the author's use of them, and other such words, are easily discerned using context clues. It does not detract from the read, and actually makes it feel more authentic.
