An excellent sourcebook for the Exalted universe; suited for lower-powered campaigns and those seeking to face more challenges in the world of the Scarlet Dynasty. Intrigue, magic, elementally-charged power - fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Wu-Shu genre films will be delighted in this artful take on fantasy RPGs.
★ - Most books with this rating I never finish and so don't make this list. This one I probably started speed-reading to get it over with. ★★ - Average. Wasn't terrible, but not a lot to recommend it. Probably skimmed parts of it. ★★★ - Decent. A few good ideas, well-written passages, interesting characters, or the like. ★★★★ - Good. This one had parts that inspired me, impressed me, made me laugh out loud, made me think - it got positive reactions and most of the rest of it was pretty decent too. ★★★★★ - Amazing. This is the best I've read of its genre, the ones I hold on to so I can re-read them and/or loan them out to people looking for a great book. The best of these change the way I look at the world and operate within it.
