Of the Bayern books, this one is the hardest for me to finish reading, even though it's a reread. I enjoy Hale's system of magics, the concept of having the language of an inanimate or natural phenomenon and thus being able to ‘speak' with it. For a whole lot of reasons, though, people speaking feels very personal to me, and Rin's journey always makes me take a deep breath and step back from the story for a bit.
