review 1: The bulk of the text is a glossary which doesn't lend itself to a readthrough. Some of the upfront essays were better than others; some went over ground covered in other essays. Little that makes this a massive standout. For serious Miles fans, it's the equivalent of spending an evening jawing about the characters--diverting, but wouldn't you rather read another Miles book? Or talk about them with your friends?
review 2: Just started this, and I gotta say that reading Bujold's non-fiction pieces about her life, her writing, the business of writing just make me appreciate her great talents even more.I did not read the entire book; a lot of it is stuff that is reprinted (like the forwards from her books) and some stuff was also printed in "Dreamweaver's Dilemma".
... more Given that, there were still a couple of topnotch essays by Bujold on the subject of writing. She is so great. less

A useful reference, but as a member of the Bujold List, most of it is stuff I already knew.
