Summary
Writing advice tends to be full of "rules" and "tips" which are either too broad to be helpful or outright wrong. In On Writing and Worldbuilding, we will discuss specific and applicable ideas to consider, from effective methods of delivering exposition and foreshadowing, to how communication, commerce, and control play into the fall of an empire.

Poor narration
I have this book in Kindle version and it's amazing. I like the book really much and I find it really helpful... That said, this Audible narration is just plain awful from the start. It sounds as if a robotic voice had read a pdf version outloud while someone is just changing the voice option every moment, so it starts first as super quick, then slows down insufferably for a second or two and so on and so on... I don't know why the guy who wrote the book haven't just done the narration himself - he has a great channel on YouTube where he doesn't narrate his own videos that this book seems to be based on. Didn't expect to be disappointed, but it is what it is... Great book, but the narration is below any minimum standards...
