I just finished my initial read-through of the entire adventure and am reading part 1 again in prep for starting a couple groups and I really really like books 2-4, have found book 1 to be kinda bleh and 5 has exciting roleplay opportunities.
I like the circus aspect as a way to give players who love roleplaying a lot more to do but I also like that I could just put it to the side and have no one worry about it if we wanted to. Overall I like the atmosphere and enjoy the Xulgaths as rivals throughout but Im not a huge fan of the fact that Sarvel is basically missing except in book six so I might take some time to make him more present in order to give the pcs a closer tie to him and motivation for killing him.
I do like that NPC Kirosthek a lot and her motivation of just stealing the orbs to rebuild the Xulgath empire as "We're trying to reclaim our stolen empire" is a more interesting motivation than "Beeg Leezard said sink Islands."
