The Tough Guide to Fantasyland: The Essential Guide to Fantasy Travel
by Diana Wynne Jones
I'm opting not to rate this because I usually rate based off my overall reading experience and this was miserable. However, it's also a satirical fantasy dictionary and I don't know why I thought I would enjoy reading that. Fantasy isn't my main genre and satire doesn't usually amuse me.
A lot of the information was pretty entertaining. The whole book just pokes fun at fantasy tropes and cliches, and I'd recommend it if you're looking for something fun to flip through on occasion and you enjoy fantasy. I feel like I walked away with a slightly better understanding of the fantasy genre.
But at the end of the day, it's a dictionary. It probably wasn't meant to be read the way I read it.
