This adventure has a lot of things going for it. The writing is taut, letting the action build slowly while keeping the emotions intense throughout, and finishing out in a blazing climax. The artwork sets a sombre mood with the right stylistic choices and a fine level of detail, using highlights and shadows to evoke the right feelings. The layout is concise, clear and uncomplicated. All of this is offered at an attractive price point too! Sure, a print-friendly version would have been nice, or maybe even a map or two - but why look a dusky, handsome Warhorse in the mouth?
If you are the kind of player or DM who likes mature, edgy and dark themes for their games, you cannot go wrong with this one.
