I can say three things that make this book so awesome. The first is how enjoyable it is to read. The layout, art, and structure combine so well into a thoughtful and entertaining text. I knew from the free edition that even if I didn't run the game, I'd enjoyed it enough from reading alone to buy the deluxe version. Even the dungeon drawing guide was enough to get me drawing for fun again.

The second thing is that it really strikes the core concept of the game well. There is definitely a lot of complexity to the game, and you can't really grasp all the mechanics until you start playing. But when the game gets going, it really feels like a well-oiled machine, with every mechanic supporting players and the GM in creating monstery villanous moments, and simulating being the bad guys in a fantasy setting.

The third thing is that it has insane flexibility due to the open-ended nature of things like adventurer creation (the main antagonists of the game) and crafting/magic. Usually this flexbility can be really daunting, but the game is absolutely filled with examples, including examples of play. So you're really encouraged to be creative and improvise, but you don't feel like the book is just leaving you to do the hard work.

All in all, the game has easily become one of my all-time favourites. It's important to keep in mind though that the game requires a fair bit of investment from the GM and players to learn. Important rules and concepts are sometimes hard to spot, or some concepts are fully explained across several different sections (first example that comes to mind is Gear/Equipment). And you'll need to have players who find both the roleplaying and the strategic base-building to be equally fun components of play. If you get past these things though, I really think it stands out as a fantastic FitD game.
