This was immense fun to both play and run! We've been doing adventures from Candlekeep Mysteries, and this fit perfectly. It's clear the author has a solid understanding and fondness for literary tropes, all the encounters were just really entertaining. My players loved the magical items (such as the eagle summoning Ring of Deus Ex) and the NPCs. The pacing was really good, none of it dragged, and it was easy to prepare as a DM. Highly recommend!
