My real rating is 0!!!!
I think book is somehow messy, it is just some piece of separate texts that have no connection together and are only placed one after the other. Authors just put a lot of information in some chapter that some of them need a separate book and with some details that would make confuse readers that are not familiar with this topics so much. In much places the authors has deviated from the main path of the book.
Book content does not have good structure and you cannot achieve specific thing from it. It is mixed of some unrelated topics without correct structure.
The book does not target specific audience. I think this is the big problem of this book. So it is not suitable for beginners neither for professionals.

The book, focused purely on latest version of .net and C#, provides many pointers for someone in a lead / architect position. It talks about many technologies, be it relational vs NoSQL databases, SOAP vs REST vs gRPC, and the various forms of XaaS.

The broad spectrum of the book helps many to get to know the basics while looking from a 1000-ft level of some software architecture. It helps build quick POCs to identify the route that can be continued on. The book also provides many leads if you need in-depth articles / pages on the topics.

All-in-all, a good read if you want an overview of various technologies.

It starts very promising but... quickly turns into a total mess.
