This book was the last of the 3 Glories that I read. And true to form, it was another great work from the Exalted writers. The 5 maidens are described in great detail and every one of them is clearly distinct from her sisters. They are statted (each unique, each perfectly suited to her task) and all the little background-nuggets are a great joy to read (pay attention to their specialties this goes for all three Glories pdfs to see some great fun-pokes at the setting). I especially loved the part about how the Maiden of Secrets got her job, so too speak.
On top of that, there are new CMAs (2), a new SMA and world-shattering powers waiting to be unlocked for use by the Chosen of th Maidens. From beginning to end, this book made me care about the maidens as a living part of the Exalted setting. That the authors managed to achieve this with all three books and their focal characters is a feat worthy of admiration. Great job all around!
