Excellent review indeed Mike, as one would expect from a leading exponent of the game.
Always good to read an informed view from someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. Informative, constructive, thorough, and all about the publication - not all about the reviewer. That’s what makes for a decent review.
I’ve had my pre-release copy of the book for a few days now, and keep going back to it to read more of the detail in the new setting-specific sections. I echo everything you say in your review. It’s a great publication, and does immense justice to an excellent set of rules.
