I found that the reboot of the setting in 7th Sea 2nd edition was very well done and interesting. The inclusion of more inspirations from other regions of the world was nicely done as was the rebalancing of how magic works in setting. The mechanics of the 2nd edition, however, just did not click with the group that I play with. We found that it the framework of the gameplay and rules was too light in places we wanted more structure and that it involved a lot of additional work for the person running the game. I know that many people have enjoyed the system, so I would just suggest that you do a little research about it before buying the game if your intent is to run the game with its own system.
