Unlike many other sequel craft books, this one actually contained new material on crafting worlds for fiction writers and gamers alike. Thoroughly enjoyed the thought and detail that went into it. Now, to be able to take the information and translate it into rich worldbuilding is a whole other animal for me. But the author also gives encouragement in how to do just that. Definitely recommend to newbie writers to learn how to build worlds with the richness of detail they deserve and that will draw readers in and keep them there.
Si leíste el. Primer libro, este básicamente lima las esquinas. Tiene más herramientas y reflexiones para profundizar en el mundo que se desarrolla. El hecho de que haya durado dos semanas leyendo primero y 3 días leyendo este puede dar una idea de qué tan útil me pareció este.
From start to finish Savage makes you think about how you approach building your fictional worlds.
I found his thoughts on the subject just as enlightening as the tips. I'll definitely be taking a look at some of my current projects with a fresh perspective.
