Don’t focus on the cert and focus on actually learning what you are doing and learning the concepts.

The Advanced Networking certification is difficult, but I don't think that it's the hardest of the specialty exams. If you are reasonably familiar with networking concepts, have a solid understanding of routing, BGP, VPNs, and the different ways that VPCs connect and interconnect, then it's not too bad. It's definitely possible to pass the test without holding any of the professional level or other specialty certs.
There's an official book published by Sybex that covers a lot of the material. It's dry, but does an okay job. There are end of chapter quizzes and an online test bank through the publisher (it's not great, but there are a bunch of different questions). You can find it on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1119439833
Cloud Academy has a pretty good cert preparation course with hands-on labs that use their AWS account infrastructure. The A Cloud Guru course covers a lot and is cheaper, but any lab work needs to be done on your own AWS account. I'm sure the Linux Academy course is probably good, but I don't have any experience with that one.
There is an official study guide book from AWS: https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Advanced-Networking-Official-Study/dp/1119439833
I haven't read either, but the link you provided is for a packt published book, which tends to be for people that just want to publish their own book, and there isn't much of a bar for quality with that publisher (of course there are exceptions). The reviewers also seem to only be reviewing other packt published books and with generic comments, so they are possibly fake.
