Covers much ground
I feel with all educational manuals and books that summary crib sheets should be included.

very informative and beautifully narrated
Love the structure, examples and insight of this book. I learned a lot of very applicable things and will be coming back to different sections as I incorporate the wisdom into my worlds and words.
Merphy and Larissa are excellent narrators, making this very easy to listen to.

Helpful Information
Very much enjoyed this read, it has detailed analysis on all facets of world building and the four usual suspects: Plot, Setting, Characters and Prose. I was taken back at the detailed breakdown of Empire building, falling and need to know pieces of information such as imperial administration. If your after a detailed breakdown on building a world from every conceivable angle, this book is for you.
