If you never finished reading an adventure and though to yourself .oO(This one is going to be a blast to run.), then seize your chance to pick this one up so you can enjoy that feeling. It's a good one.
Full disclosure, I hate the Season 8 adventure format with a passion that defies reason. The adventures are usually more scattered outline than cohesive adventure. Marcello manages to get past that with applomb. The hook is a little weak, but universal because Red War, but the call to action is strong (refugees need your help) and the objectives (find out why the village can't help, fix it so they can) are self-contained in the sections without all of the usual searching and gotchas you find in other season 8 modules. The bonus objectives are too good to even remotely spoil, but they're clearly in homage to the near-Arctic nature of Con of the North.
Also, there are rules for noodling and ice fishing worthy of a supplement of their own.
Pick this one up, run it for your friends, get some checkpoints, have some fun. You won't regret it.
