I will update this page with new reviews and testimonials from my readers soon.
Starting from 14 Aug 2025, Advance Review Copies (ARC) have been given to many readers.
It will take time for readers to digest since the ARCs are 1200 pages in total. I will only collect reviews months after the 29th Aug 2025 release.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am an early reviewer for this book and this review is based on an advance copy I’ve read.
Before reading this book, I had around 500 hours played in modern tetris (I mostly play tetrio and jstris) and had stats of 2 PPS and 75 APM, pretty decent stats, I thought I knew a good chunk of tetris after watching and reading many guides on various tetris related topics, but I still struggle in some aspects, and I didn’t know 100% why, I thought that I didn’t play as much as I needed to to improve.
After reading this book, I now know many more things than just a few weeks ago! I learned the “why” behind my stacking choices, particularly the “don’t create divisions in your stack” advice which is something I’ve never read anywhere else. Or even the advice where “Don’t waste T” isn’t actually something you should apply all the time, and you learn that there are cases where wasting T is optimal. The biggest eye opener for me is the downstacking chapter, I struggled a lot in 100L cheese race jstris, often getting 350 pieces placed per run, but right after reading this book, I got my PB of 277 pieces! And I only played around 15 runs at that point. I also learned many useful tips, the most prominent one for me is placing S and Z vertically during lst stacking, which made me do 20 tsd lst easily after literally just reading that SINGLE tip.
Overall, I managed to reach 100 apm average in jstris without playing too much after reading this book, it’s amazing.
The book also offers good practice tools I’ve heard about and I can confirm they are all great. It also offers a nice conclusion at the end of each chapter, which makes the content easier to digest. This is the best tetris guide currently available in the internet, definitely buy it when you want to improve without pouring in thousands of hours like most top players.

Those tst donos are something I have to take a look at like dang. Also for those who want to know how good the books are, I am an early reviewer for the books and I can safely say they do help you a lot, even if you’re a more advanced player. I finished book 2, the most improvement I’ve gotten out of it is in my downstacking, I literally went from not being able to do a sub 300 piece 100l jstris cheese race to a new pb of 277 in literally just 20 runs after reading the guide. I also managed to do 20 tsd lst stacking with the guide, and I also just reached 100 apm average way faster than I expected with the guide after learning about field harmony and parity management and also skimming. This guide definitely works!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I can’t explain how thorough and insightful this book is! It helped change my perspective in stacking and being applicable for many things such as parity management, and bringing the pieces together. The book gave me a clear goal into improve my stacking efficiently. This is the most thorough book regarding modern tetris guides i’ve ever seen. Also keeping in mind which pieces go well together. I appreciate the efforts Aquila made in writing these books.
