I received this module as part of the Asatania kickstarter. I haven't run it for my group yet, but read this module and the sequel (Smoke on the Horizon) the day they were released.
It was a good read. I like that the NPCs are flushed out and interesting. There is enough information on their background, appearance, and personaltiy there to see how the author intended them to be played.
This is an outdoor adventure, but your group will not be left wandering in the wilderness. There are events to guide them in the adventure. I personally like outdoor adventures. There is also a sense of urgency to it. And, the party will probably start to feel more and more concerned about the state of the surrounding settlements as they progress through it.
The scenes are described well and fully. There were a couple of things that took me a minute to figure out (like how the party might realize that a horse is missing...), but overall it is quite good.
This is obviously part of a bigger campaign, and, if you are going to run it, you'll want the follow on adventures. I am waiting on the setting and the 3rd adventure before starting this. I am looking forward to taking my group through it. It should be a fun adventure.
