Okay - this book is set up in 5 "books". Books 1 and 2 are DRAINING - so wordy, so much world building - like, there was 2 pages dedicated to scones....WHY!? But it really picks up about halfway through book 3, I'd say. So if we could just skim 1&2, it'd be a pretty good book!
If you like historical London and Oxford, where words come from, and historical fiction - I'd say give this one a go.
