Okay, so I just encountered this in a recently written fiction book set in London in the 30s. The two french characters switched to French for an aside with no translation. Highly unnecessary though I was able to largely guess what had been said from the context.

I don't find it immersive as I've no idea what it is say otherwise...

It serves to illustrate their overall Francophile aristocratic customs - somewhat at odds with the revolution and Napoleon.

Imagine if elite circles in a country were using English as conversational language, influenced by and adoring the predominant culture of the time and then were to face that culture come under the sway of a man who stands against everything they believe in.

Hey Sanderson's entire career has taken place after Storm of Swords was published. And he has done it all while also teaching at BYU. Huh.

I'm not saying it isn't warrented, just that it causes me pain. The Stormlight Archives are by far the best thing he's written.
