I was unable to suspend my disbelief to make this an ultiamtely enjoyable read. I cannot believe that a girl from tab-end 20th century New Orleans would be able to immitate 16th century Scottish accent and speech patterns to such a degree that even the Scots themselves don't notice that she's not one of them. This isn't even taking into account how much the language has changed since then - the book is set prior to the writing of the works of Shakespeare and every student knows how hard it can be to study his plays in their original form simply due to the evolution of the language since that time.
