This PDF has all KINDS of good ideas, descriptions, and ideas to set a Feywild series of adventures. The one thing I found lacking was a tangable description of the land itself. Still, it was worth of 5 stars.

Right off the bat, the art is fantastic. All of the pieces are thematically appropriate and range over a variety of styles so that there will be something for everyone to love in the art. I would buy the book just to look at some of the truely gorgeous paintings.

Now for the meat.

This book isn't a list of stats like a lot of supplements wind up being. There are two stat blocks in the entire thing (that I remember), one for each of the two most notable individuals in fey lore, the Queen of Summer, Titannia, and the Queen of Air and Darkness, Mahb. But stats aren't what this is about. this book hashes out the various lore surrounding the fey and offers a guide on how to build the feywild, the well-known places that are most commonly included, and how the courts are set up - if they exist at all.

Beyond that, the supplement also notes an impressive range of fey creature, touches on the fey ancestory for sorcerers origin, and offers a smattering of playable races and the racial adjustments necessary. Several other, less notorious fey individuals are listed also and information is given on thier behaviour, the notable items they carry - such as Oberron's Crown of Antlers, and thier percieved abilities and purposes, of course it's the feywild so take everything with a grain of salt - appearances can be deceiving.

At the end the book includes the much loved "Appendix N" which list a large variety of media from which DMs can take inspiration ranging from movies, TV, and video games to books and other tabletop roleplaying games.

To sum up, this book is a timeless addition to your shelf because the lore will never grow old. As long as dice are being rolled and brave (or foolish) adventures are journeying into the feywild, this book will come in handy.

This supplement misses the mark for me. It had promise... A unique take on the Seasonal Courts, descriptions of various fey characters, and some ideas for stat blocks and adventure hooks. But it suffers from issues with the writing, as well as concreteness of the ideas being presented.

To begin with the latter point, the author of Journey into the Feywild likes to describe things. He wants us to be able to picture the Feywild, as well as a few of the specific characters who live there. This is great- we need this sort of thing in the supplement. But while the supplement is big on descriptions, it's small on implications. What rules do the fey follow? What weaknesses do they have? How do they feel about non-fey who come to the Feywild? In order to make use of the Feywild in my campaign I need more than flavor, I need to know how this realm works. This supplement didn't give me much of that. (Frankly, if you are looking for that, just Google "reddit guide to the feywild," and you will find what you're looking for.)

The other big issue with Journey into the Feywild is that the writing is atrocious. It varies from clunky to wildly ungrammatical. I'm not just picking nits here- the author frequently omits necessary prepositions, uses the wrong parts of speech, and mangles sentences in ways that not only make the text unpleasant to read, but also make it difficult to discern his meaning. One egregious example has the author mashing together two popular English phrases - "pales in comparison" and "second to none" - into one oxymoronic sentence. He writes, "The hospitality of the Autumn fey almost pale second to none other than the fey from the Spring court." ...What? Could the author not find a single person who knows how to write to proofread this? It's ludicrous.

I will say that there's some nice artwork in the supplement, and if you are looking for writing that is heavy on imagery you may be pleased. It just wasn't enough for me, and trying to read the text is a pain.

This is fantastic. I am currently writing an adventure set in the Feywild and its great to have so much relevant lore gathered in one easy to read place. Great work

This product has some nice information about a subject that is referred to a lot in the D&D core books, but isn't really fleshed out very well. However, there is a lot of filler pages (i.e. full page pictures of various Fey scenes and creatures with no text) so the page count is a little bit inflated. I was hoping for more crunch for the price. But, what is there is useful.

A supplement like this one is the type of addition to your library that you will revisit many times as you find more ways to explore its content.

A melange of concepts, seamlessly woven together into a comprehensive narrative, this is a must-have for anyone touching the fey in their homebrew worlds.

I have started several times to write my review. This time I am completing it. If you are a fan of the Fey, or simply wish to know more, THIS IS THE SOURCE YOU WANT.

Firstly, the art is a level of beauty fitting to please any of the Fey Courts. Secondly, the author's passion of the subject and obvious research shows clearly, in a well thought out and presented manner. It gives enough specifics and enough vagueries that it inspires you to want to experience the mysteries of the fey and gives you the lore to do so in your given setting. And finally, my simple words do not fully express the overwelming beauty of this work. But when dealing with the Fey, simple and concise is always a wise path. Well done Jack, very well done. I look forward to more and so will anyone else who gains this treasure. ~FaeryRene

Excellent, indepth lore of the Fey, complete with information on basic and some new fey courts and statblocks for Mab and Titania. Also comes with adventure hooks and player options to incooperate into your games. If you are new to Fey lore and looking for really fleshed out, in-depth lore, or interested in the player options I would highly recommend this! However, if you have your own idea of how Fey courts/monsters would work in your games, or if you are looking for Fey monster statblocks, I would give this a miss.

As someone who loves the Fey and its lore, this supplement is absolutely wonderful! It is so nice to have a supplement that wraps a lot of lore up in a nice little bow, easy to read and follow along, and the art is gorgeous!
