Intro missions are always a lot of fun, both to run as a DM and to experience as a player. A City on the Edge does a fantastic job of setting the backdrop to Season 7, giving the city of Port Nyanzaru it's own character. The missions within the module allow the DM to help explore the city (and the jungle as well!).
I ran each of the missions in order, with a consistent group - everyone enjoyed it (especially Mission 2 - bringing in additional thematic activities like Dino Racing is excellent!). Only reason I wouldn't say 5 stars is that the overall theme of the item the players get as they complete each mission doesnt seem to be explained or impact until one section in the final combat.
I would have loved to have seen maybe small bonuses or impacts if the players had or did not have certain pieces threaded into the later missions.
I would also love to applaud the author on having missions that are super easy to keep to time. Usually when you see 1 hour mission/adventure, an AL DM will automatically add an hour. I found these missions were written in such a way that made life easy to keep the plot moving quickly.
