Best for readers who...
Good fit if you want...
Good fit if you want a first pass with less guesswork. A stronger fit when you want a readable option with clearer expectations upfront. When you prefer lyrical prose, the scenes are sensory and immediate.
Maybe skip if...
Pass if you mainly want pure reference utility with no narrative flow. Probably a mismatch if you want a much lighter or punchier style than this offers.
