    A fascinating look at language creation! Peterson shares great insights, but it got a bit technical at times. Still a worthwhile read for worldbuilders.

    As a linguistics geek, I loved this! So many details on conlangs. Others may find it dense, though. Inspiring!

  3. Parjeet Singh –

    Essential reading for any serious worldbuilder. The depth of knowledge is truly impressive. A must-have!

  4. Athiksh C Rao –

    Found it a bit dry and academic. Was hoping for more practical exercises, less theory. Okay overall.

  5. Vaibhav Anand –

    Could have been shorter and more concise. Some chapters felt like filler. Decent, but not great.

    Informative, but felt repetitive in some sections. Peterson clearly knows his stuff, but needed a stronger editor.

    Absolutely brilliant! This book is a masterclass in conlanging. Prepare to be amazed and inspired.

  17. Mansi Negi –

    A good starting point for aspiring conlangers. Covers the basics well, but lacks in-depth analysis. Recommended with reservations.

    Too theoretical for my taste. I was looking for a more hands-on approach. Disappointed with the lack of practical exercises.

  22. Yashika Grover –

    Overly complex and jargon-heavy. I struggled to understand many of the concepts. Not for casual readers.

    Excellent resource! The examples Peterson provides are invaluable. Will definitely revisit this book often.
