The book has the right balance to talk and explain about architecture and the role of the architect
As an architect it was a good read

From the Publisher
From the Preface
Mathematicians create theories based on axioms, assumptions for things indisputably true. Software architects build axioms as well, but the software world is, well, softer than mathematics: fundamental things continue to change at a rapid pace in the software world.
The software development ecosystem exists in a constant state of dynamic equilibrium: while it exists in a balanced state at any given point in time, it exhibits dynamic behavior over the long term. A great modern example of the nature of this ecosystem follows the ascension of containerization and the attendant changes wrought: tools like Kubernetes didn’t exist a decade ago, yet now entire software conferences exist to service its users. The software ecosystem changes fractally: one small change causes another small change; when repeated hundreds of time, it generates a new ecosystem.
Architects have an important responsibility to continue to question assumptions and axioms left over from previous eras. Many of the books about software architecture were written in an era that only barely resembles the current world.
In fact, the authors believe that we must question fundamental axioms on a regular basis, in light of improved engineering practices, operational ecosystems, software development processes—everything that makes up the messy, dynamic equilibrium where architects and developers work each day.

Customer Review: Some pictures print are not clear at all
Noor
The book is what it says: fundamentals... "just enough" of software architecture. Full of good advice for someone who already has some tech lead and design experience, but looking to move up in the hierarchy. General direction is more on breadth (architects) rather than on depth (developers). See picture for recommended study environment.

The book content is as described. However, the book itself was moderately damaged. In fact, 3 out of 4 O'Reilly books I've order this week were cosmetically damaged.
