From a layout perspective, loving that horizontal display. From a creativity standpoint, this supplement gets a 5/5 as it's probably the only way anyone gets to play a sentient item.
However from a mechanics and gameplay standpoint, I have to take a point off. There simply isn't any way that this works comfortably within the 5e system. Will it break your table? Never, the mechanics aren't over powered or unbalanced, but actually running a sentient item just didn't work (at least not across two of my tables we tried testing it at).
So while experience teaches me one thing, I do want to say that the supplement is fantastic and if you're interested in playing an item, TRY it. Maybe you'll like it or maybe you won't, but this is the best way to give it a shot.
