Query: Could not finish it

I was interested because the book got some praise for its use of language, and I like anything with inventive, well-crafted prose. The beginning was interesting, but eventually I realized that the plot device used to introduce the story was not going to come back. All that was left was a seemingly endless tale of derring-do in a late-middle-english-sounding style that was confusing and not very compelling in and of itself. Maybe there are some people in the world who would like this book, but I couldn't stand it.
