Okay survey of the writing process, particularly the nuts and bolts of F&SF… mostly fantasy.

La Costa de la Espada sufre una repentina escasez de hierro, precisamente cuando crece la tensión entre Ann y los Grandes Duques de la Puerta de Baldur y la guerra parece inevitable. ¿Qué tiene todo esto que ver con el intento de asesinato de un mercenario a sueldo por parte de unos sicarios desconocidos?

DNF: read 10%, skimmed 20%. Extremely shallow fantasy archetypes of character and events, and the plot immediately side quests rather than follows what it set up.

Don't judge a book by its cover, they say; and they're right, because this book has an awful, kind of cringy cover (my wife physically cringed when she saw it), but it's been the best book on writing SFF that I've picked up so far.
