I just finished reading the book and I have to say that it's surprisingly good. The author is clear and concise. The practical examples and exercises make it easy to understand the concepts of functional programming in Kotlin. I have started programming in Kotlin some time ago but I wanted to refresh and organize my knowledge about it and this book did really great on that.

A great resource for devs who know the basics of K. Light, friendly tone, waaay more better than other books I’ve read about functions in K.
