What is the author's style in Blue Adept by Piers Anthony?

The language used in this novel tends to be mostly stiff and formal; however, the ways in which it adheres to this general classification varies. Though the word choice and language construction tends to be mostly formal in both frames, the language used by the characters of Phaze tends to be more antiquated and comparable to the language spoken in the medieval period of ladies and knights while, in contrast, the language of Proton tends to veer towards scientific jargon.
