Shadows over Ekul is a good sword and sorcery adventure, with a very epic feel in the last part.
I really enjoyed reading it. It has a twist that is often used in book and movies, like in "The Prince and the Pauper".
There are a Jademen monk that is a important NPC that escort them deep into the enemy area. Some players really dislike such NPC's, but Savage Worlds could help the GM against a pet-NPC with giving a player control over him in combat. And he isnt important enough for the story that he couldnt be allowed to die. One of the playercharacters is more important for the story.
There are no maps in the avdenture (except a picture of a village/monastery that could work as map) but the description of the battle areals are good(but wordy).
The apendix book of lore:ekul is very nice, with a lot of cool adventure hints and hooks.
In summary it is a good adventure, if you liked the other B&B adventure your need to buy this, too.
