Been reading through the book since I got it last night, really happy with the vast majority I've ready and skimmed over, been looking forward to this since the announcement.
I am a bit bothered that there's no settlement stat blocks for any of the locations, the stat blocks are something I found incredibly interesting and useful and gave a concise overview of a settlement. I hope we see them published somewhere else.
As LilyTrotter said, no Boons & Curses is a weird choice, Tian Xia citizens having small personal shrines to gods but no way of receiving benefits is another thing I'd love to see going forward, hopefully in Divine Mysteries. The new gods (Baekho, The Lady of the North Star, Mugura and Nrithu, Phi Deva, Srikalis, Sritaming, and Sribaril) all seem awesome and I can't wait to read their entries properly. PRONUNCIATION GUIDES are one of my absolutely favourite additions and something I'd been hoping for since the announcement. No more worrying that I've butchered a name.
The expansion on different belief systems and the introduction of Tests of Virtue is fantastic, I hope we see many more in the Character Guide.
All of the art is fantastic and everything I've read so far just screams that the authors knew and loved what they were writing about.
This has only increased my desire and need to get my hands on the Character Guide in August.
