Simply put, the writing style is poetic but not overly folwery. I’ll be referencing this again soon.

It took me a while to start, but the technical accuracy of the content is spot on. This turned out to be a great decision.

Initially overlooked, this book the atmosphere created by the descriptive language is totally immersive. I’ll definitely revisit this in the future.
