Solid world building
While the main character, Andra, speaks perfectly normal English, the other characters speak something close to English. It makes perfect sense in the story, as English evolved for over a thousand years, but it does make it difficult to follow what's going on initially.
Andra recounts her memories in a way that makes it easy to catch up to the world, and everything that happened afterwards is something the reader and Andra both will have to figure out later.
