Writing Fantasy & Science Fiction: How to Create Out-Of-This-World Novels and Short Stories by Jay Lake, Philip Athans, Orson Scott Card

2.0

While I’m sure this book, with its plethora of glossaries, will be very useful during the writing stage, I was expecting more of an instructional book detailing how to create a fantasy world and key aspects to consider. Instead this book reads more like a brief anthropological look at various cultures of our world. Interesting, yes, but not was I was looking for.
