Very solid. Obviously, this book alone will not give you all the skills to pass the AZ-900 exam but it will give you a solid understanding of what you need to know about.
I recommend taking the AZ-900 (free) training on Microsoft Learn as well.
Note that the book is offering free updates. The cloud keeps evolving so no book in the world will remain current for very long.

This book, alongside Microsoft Learn, is more than enough to pass your AZ-900 Exam. I scored 880 on my test, and I owe it all to the valuable insights this book provides. If you’re considering taking the AZ-900, this is a great book to study, even though it needs a new edition.
Well written and to the point. Very helpfull in learning about the exam topics. The book, combined with some hands-on exploration on MS learning platform is likely to help you pass the test. There are a few areas that would require updating due to the everchanging nature of the platform.
As complex as Azure is third book does a very good job of breaking it down into easily understood bits of information. I was able to practice as I read through easily and finished it in four days.
I recommend it if you want to learn about Azure without getting mired in too much technical detail.
