One of the best things I can say about The Fantasy Fiction Formula is that it's very direct. It wants to teach you, it wants to give you information, and so it does, with care, examples, and exercises. Very, very useful stuff. I just wish I had a paperback copy with me—turns out it helps a lot if I feel like it's an actual textbook.

I can't say that I had expectations, but boy was I disappointed at this. It's short, and that's truly the best thing about it.
