This fantastic work is packed with fantastic lore and worldbuilding ideas for the shadow plane. The authors are thorough, imaginative, and original in many of the ideas they provide. I will certainly be taking many of the ideas and places discussed in this book to include in my homebrew world!
It's too bad WotC hasn't made a similar product for 5e as of yet, as having to convert everything certainly detracts from the value a bit. But, a fun read that is worth the effort!
