I received a free eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you.

This was a very, very interesting read, and definitely useful. I guess most of all I enjoyed the mini exams, because they made the book more interactive, not just read read read, but actually read think read think read think.

I really feel like this book made me a better writer, my stories stronger, my prose more effective, and so forth. I loved how well the examples were analyzed and not just... thrown in there, like in some other books that try to achieve the same end.

I will definitely return to this book later on, just to refresh things, to gain a deeper understanding of some concepts. Some things just can't be deeply understood with one read-through. All in all, I would say that this book requires rereads, not because it's a hard read, but because there's just so much stuff that... well... cannot be deeply understood the first time it's read.
