It's very player friendly (except for the Secrets chapter, which is for GM eyes only) and is written in the first person, much like the running dialogue you'd get from a local giving you a complete tour.

Quick questions - how much of the Korvosa book is written in this style and are other products in the line going to be similarly written?

Any clues?

No clue, but if it's anything like the Volo guides for the Forgotten Realms, that'll be awesome. I loved how they seemed like a guide written by someone in the setting as opposed to a technical "source book" for the city.

That's a little misleading. Only introductory paragraphs are truly written in the first person. The book IS written in-character, though. What I mean by that is that you can think of it like a FODOR's or Lonely Planet travel guide: except for a very few exceptions, you can consider it a giant player's handout of information useful for your characters. Does that make sense?
