This is a magical book filled with magical items that are not your standard D&D fare. The art and tales behind each item gives it a sense of being placed in the world that inspired them. It is authentic and unique in its presentation. If you want some items that 'feel' different from what's normally on offer in D&D books, check this out. You will not be disappointed.

The items in this book are so original and full of flavour and I feel that this is the kind of writing that 5E needs right now. These items add a whole new level and dimension to the game, by exploring folklore and mythology, which is something that needs to be done more, in my opinion. Reading this book gives you an appreciation of the unique culture of southern Asia and I definitely want to know more about it. I used a few of these items in a game I ran earlier today, and while the power levels felt a bit high when compared to standard fifth editon stuff, it was still balanced and logical - well suited for high magic play. The cover art and interior art are also gorgeous and the layout makes everything neat and organized. Almost every item has a hook or story in it, so you can craft plenty of encounters with this book.

Highly recommended for people who like magic items with background, flavour and utility!
