Chapter 6: "The Witch Queen’s Revenge"
by Greg A. Vaughan
Baba Yaga has been rescued from the clutches of her son Rasputin, but the Queen of Witches remains trapped inside a magical matryoshka doll. Delving into hidden chambers deep within the Dancing Hut, the heroes must open the nesting dolls imprisoning Baba Yaga, but they must also contend with the hut’s most dedicated guardians, including the former queens of Irrisen. When the time comes to finally face Queen Elvanna inside the Dancing Hut’s innermost sanctum, will the heroes defeat her and free Baba Yaga, or plunge Golarion into a new ice age?

Rasputin Must Die! is a hard act to follow, but the Witch Queen's Revenge does an admirable job.
The adventure at it's core touches on some interesting concepts, letting the PCs really get to know Baba Yaga, although how that'll play out in your game will depend as much on the DM and players as the adventure. Still, there are some cool concepts here.
If anything, I feel that the Big Bad is missing her moment in the sun. However, with this in hand before starting the path you could definitely include some awesome foreshadowing.
Where the adventure really shines, though, and moves up to five stars, is in the "Continuing the Campaign" section. If you're comfortable working from an outline, it'd be easy to take this into Mythic ranks and clear to 20th level.
Short Version: A solid end to the campaign with an amazing postscript.

I tend to be more generous to my players sometimes so I'm thinking allowing one boon per player for a maximum of four. It's alot, but the way things are you can still continue the campaign and work towards killing Baba Yaga.
