my recommendation for this is used as a cook book for blending mediums of stories and find your flavor of roleplay.

This is probably not Scion's best book but it IS a very cool book at points. The Post Apocalyptic shard is hands down worth the purchase on its own if thats soemthing you think your table would be interested in. Mostly though the Shards feel like they could have used a bit more...more work, more words, more mechanics. In my opinion the Plots sections would have been better used to deepen the worlds they were presenting instead of giving adventures you may or may not use.
