This book is a very thorough and well written book.

Ch1 Intro: This was fairly ho-hum the usual. Nothing mind blowing, but not botched either.

Ch2 The background on Alchemicals: The "fluff" or background writing is amazing. Some very "OMG!! I can't believe they just wrote that!" moments, the writers of this book are amazing.

Ch3+4: Character backgrounds and traits: This was pretty much the norm and what you'd expect from the Manuals of Exalted powers. Some new backgrounds that are nifty.

Ch5: Charms: This is a true treasure chest. The charms in here have an amazing, inspired polish and feel. If you are unsure about buying this book, this chapter is worth its weight in gold and is incredibly inspiring to all players and ST's!

Ch6: Storytelling: This was pretty much the norm, as the Ch1 intro. Some good ideas for sure

Overall: The comics in between chapters and the art in the book were quite well done, in addition to solid writing. 5/5 for me.

Note: At the time of writing this, (Feb 26/10)you can find this book in your local gaming store,but not on amazon for some reason.

The book is NOT out of print, and does not have limited availability. Check local gaming stores in your area for this book if you want it. Amazon is just being difficult.

I'd like to get a physical copy of this, but sellers, a little hint. Charging 85-180 for a book that you can easily get for $16 on Drivethrurpg as a PDF is not generally good business practice. I do wish you luck in selling your copies, but I'll probably hit my local used book store, and barring that, buy the PDF rather then shelling out 2-6 times the cost of the book.
