I absolutely loved Real-Time Ray-Tracing with Vulkan for the Impatient! It completely changed my perspective on graphics. At first I wasn't sure about ray-tracing, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains ray-tracing is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Books. What I appreciated most was how the book made Games & Strategy Guides feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

Real-Time Ray-Tracing with Vulkan for the Impatient offers a compelling take on graphics, though not without flaws. While the treatment of shader is excellent, I found the sections on graphics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about vulkan that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing vulkan more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for vulkan will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Books, if not the definitive work.
