Great adventure! I wanted to introduce my cousins to dnd but the next run of the German starter set was on pre-order at the time. Found this adventure and decided to give it a chance since my creative writing skills in German are rather rusty. The adventure was great for new beginners like them, giving them a chance to do a little bit of everything from combat to roleplaying and to being able to improvise alongside me to make the story our own. The framework for that is all there! The length is also a plus- we did it in two 3-4 hour sessions but with a more experienced party it might be possible to do it in just one session as well.
The only criticism I have (and that depends really on the playstyle of the group) is that some of the enemies/ fights have the potential to be very deadly for a 1st level party, and as a result I decided to bump my party up to level 2 before we started (they were also only a group of 3). Everything else was really great for beginners though and it was an easy enough thing for me to modify.
