9 / 10Sprue RubblesBest sourcebook to the best RPG.
8 / 10SleeperThe archetypes are excellent, the information on Godwalkers and ascension is surprisingly clear given the intangible nature of the subject matter, and the section on the Comte is blessedly short. However the section on the behavior and symbology of the avatars feels like padding (and is in the wrong place; it should come after the new archetypes), tilts are a mechanical nightmare (relatively minor effects are balanced by foisting a ridiculous amount of bookkeeping on the players), and while the example Rooms are superlatively written and serve a clear dramatic purpose, the explanation of what the House of Renunciation is and why it exists is poor.
