Review of 'The Planet Construction Kit' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
If you are doing world construction for a novel or a game, it is a huge undertaking. This book will make it easier for you in many ways. First, this book will stop you from making a lot of mistakes that you will find difficult to undo - especially after you have made a commitment to a storyline or a definition of a character. Second, it also helps you to organize your effort to create something more believable.
Even if you are not interested in planet construction, you will likely enjoy how Rosenfelder leaps from one aspect of study to another. This book covers biology, religion, plate tectonics, magic, war, clothing, and lots of topics that define how life is in different Terran cultures. That alone makes it worthwhile.
Anyway, this won't do the work for you, but it will make the work you do better.
