What people say:

I highly recommend Karl Zylinski's excellently written book on Odin—perfect for anyone who wants to learn and understand the Odin programming language. -Bill "gingerBill" Hall, creator of Odin.

Karl makes a great job at explaining Odin. I had a good experience with garbage collected language like Golang and the book really helped me to transition to a non garbage collected language like Odin. -Review on store.zylinski.se by Kevin D.

I never read, I get distracted easily. But the writing style here is so good, that I didn't have any issues reading through the whole thing in a couple days. -Review on store.zylinski.se by Shaka.
