This is a must read book on writing, zero fluff, straight to the point, with examples.

The author walks you through telling and showing in about every way possible, plus circles back to when it okay. I loved the easy to understand format that she puts each chapter into, and can already tell that it will make it easy to reference in the future.

At the end of the book she includes a one page quick reference guide, which I was hoping for throughout reading. Reading this book made constructing engaging sentences make more sense.

Even if you think you are great at showing instead of telling, give it a read, it will be worth the few hours.

I learned so much from this book. It is a great addition to the books that help an author sharpen her skills.

Excellent advice for writers, whether beginning or advanced. It's made me think of my writing differently, and for the better

Really enjoyed it. Maybe some of the main character's motivations are too convoluted (who am I to argue this?!) but they do come together.
Neat magic system (too neat?)
Will read on!
