7 / 10owe for the fleshCompiles the setting information from a number of different sources into one book, so it's worth it for anyone who wants Talislanta without the game system. Morrigan really needs to hire an editor, though.
9 / 10the_seraphHotan's History is essentially an encyclopedic geographical compendium of a fairly unique gaming world. Presented without an attached rules system, this book can be used by anyone with any system. Besides being an interesting read, the book can be mined for a wealth of ideas for use in other fantasy games.
