#because the book sounds really good but alas 😒

[inthefaceofadaffodil]

ngl I was considering reading Fourth Wing but after seeing a tiktok by a Gaelic speaker saying that the author throws in random Scottish Gaelic for the names of things because it sounds “fantasy-esque” presumably without consulting anyone who actually speaks the language so some of it doesn’t actually make any sense and the audiobook butchers the pronunciation has put me right off. Anyways here’s her caption because quite frankly some of you need to read it.

#Fourth Wing #Scotland #Scottish Gaelic #Gaelic #this was super disappointing #because the book sounds really good but alas 😒 #anyways THIS is why I refuse to read books involving anything Scottish that are written by Americans #I don’t even speak the language and this drives me nuts!
