Inkling
My WIP is a medieval fantasy adventure. My writing inadvertently tends to hover on the border of quite modern language similar to that of Rothfuss and Sanderson's. The occasional word or sentence structure becomes more apparent in certain characters' voices but sometimes I feel like I go too far.
Do you find that archaic language, used well, can make a story more immersive in an old setting or do you just find it tedious and / or gimmicky?
If you can, pinpoint a snippet from a story which you think is just modern or archaic enough for you to endure and one that you adore.
