This was an awesome read. There's enough story-seeds to run multiple campaigns, and the dynamics between characters are great -- you see the same events from multiple perspectives, and you see why those perspectives are so different. The care and time that went into the story-crafting is really clear, way better than plenty of better-known authors. I was new to Vampire when I started reading this book. Now I categorize people by which Clan they'd belong to (and that clerk was totally a Malkavian, for the record). Cannot recommend highly enough! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

This review is for the books initial launch.

The book is pretty large and so for the price that part checks out just fine. It packs in a giant amount of NPCs for content within the setting as well as fairly respectable research regarding the city's info such as history.

That being said after going over the whole book a large number of issues were also found, some are deal breakers for myself but may not be for others.

The first issue and one of the biggest is the lack of bookmarks, the 190 page book contains 3 bookmarks which are not even functional, 2 of them link to the back of the book on the last page and the first one doesn't even work. At the size of this book, without the bookmarks navigating the book becomes a giant pain and is particularly unpleasant especially with so many NPCs. The next issue is the lack of editting that makes sure everything is legible and easy to read. Maps are especially guilty in this, they're from a much older website from the late 90s/early 2000s and the maps quality show this fact. Personally maps should either take up half the page or the whole page, leaving small bits of text within the map makes it look pretty poor. The maps also lack any form of key besides distance, though its super hard to read.

Hopefully the author will update the book and fix the major issues, the sheer amount of content does keep it rating in the middle for me but its by a slim amount. I do see a lot of potential in the book but it needs some more TLC before I can really back it.
