Infelizmente a aventura é muito ruim. A trama é muito ligada ao resto de Second Darkness, mas ao mesmo tempo não funciona com o resto de Second Darkness alem de ser politica demais (de uma maneira ruim). Uma oportunidade perdida para mostrar que sistemas da família do D&D podem ter excelentes tramas de intriga politica, mas aqui falha tragicamente. Mesmo assim, mestres com tempo livre podem querer aproveitar as idéias ou reconstruir a aventura para concluir a adventure path. Felizmente os artigos da edição são muito bons e aliviam um pouco o sofrimento que é ler a aventura. Boa sorte.

One of the greatest challenges for most DMs is how to get out of Dungeon Crawl mode, and play intrigue. This module lays it out, complete with threads to help get those pesky players back on track. Check out my full review A Memory of Darkness

I really like the Second Darkness adventure path, but this chapter is just awful. I read it two times now, but I still don't get what the succubus and the elven queen expect from the PCs. Maybe it's me, but I think that the intrigue in this story doesn't work at all.

I usually sing high praise of Paizo's products, but this is apparently the biggest miss in whole Pathfinder range so far.

This module is basically a giant railroad set, kicking off with the players being betrayed by their apparently only ally and forced into some choo choo train of an intrigue which they can't really break off from and have to play along. Sure, it's all explained and makes sense, but betrayal and deception is a very risk plot tool, as few things irk players more than becoming pawns of all-mighty NPCs who can just sneeze them off the Prime Material.

Coming up next are a few random "tour the Golarion" encounters with little cohesion ...

And then PCs meet the Winter Council, who are basically a bunch of douchebags who sit around and pick their noses. And whoever ordered the art for Hialin ... how am I supposed to show him to players ? He should have a "I'm a very bad person !" t-shirt, because it's not really obvious from the artwork. (SARCASM MODE OFF)

And on the top of that, in the end you get a massive highish level combat with dozens of stat blocks that have to be handled by the GM, some of them casters. Ever tried that ? I did, and it's no fun !

What I love about Paizo stuff it that it requires very little DM work, because most bases are covered and there are almost no glaring logical errors or possible exploits. The MoD is so underwhelming that I will likely have to scrap it and rewrite, something I loathe to do as it drains my already limited time.

The saving grace for this book are the backup material (Calistra article is great, but where did the prestige class go ?). They bump the score by one star.
