I did not read everything in detail because I like being surprised in play, so I may have missed something, but these are my impressions:
Quickly skimming the events list, most of these look to to be solid story hooks for actual adventures. Some would logically be completed within the city, others would likely lead beyond city walls. Very few that I saw were quick, easy to complete singular encounters. There were some of of these little "flavor scenes" I was hoping to find, but most of these, with just two-line entries, provide enough fuel to spark the imagination and kick off a new story while neither totally defining the adventure nor requiring multiple initial rolls to flesh out the general idea.
The npc descriptions are okay. Twenty individuals who are basically archetypes of their profession.
The street descriptions seem useful if you treat them as the description of an indidual street or alley network in a small section of the city. They are written as describing multiple streets or alleys so maybe "small section" is the intent?
The general city descriptions? Scanning the list, it looked to me that most of the descriptors apply to most cities. I was hoping for some more unique seasoning
For $3, it's a nice list of potential adventure hooks one can kick off from a city. I'll likely get some good use from it...I can always use adventure ideas.
