Excellent quickstart - it's comprehensive enough to explain the setting, it's well written, gives us all the rules needed, a lot of equipment and creatures, an interesting campaign idea (sufficiently fleshed out so that an experienced GM can nearly start it on the go) and a full adventure.
The setting is one of the best out there. Its themes and flavour are quite uncommon in RPGs and most players have never played something similar, while at the same time will find it somehow familiar enough.
The rules are befitting to the setting. They are detailed but quite intuitive and don't require cumbersome bookkeeping. I think most groups will find them easy to learn, narratively involved and complete.
The art is great, and I specially appreciate the awesome maps.
Worth the purchase even if you only want to see what's the fuss about. I've loved the setting for 20 years, and I'm eager for the arrival of the new edition in a couple weeks.
