excellent antagonist book for V5
Simply this book is for the storytellers. Presents a range of inquisition hunters to be easily dropped into a new or existing chronicle. What I particularly like is that the book dives right into hunter splats and stats without unnecessary in-game fiction (as these are not player characters but instead storyteller player characters or SPCs). A range of options are presented for various hunter cells (cenacles) and a deep dive into the Society of St. Leopold, probably my favorite inquisition group dating back to VtM revised edition. Well laid out, easy to follow and top-notch art. Cant recommend this book enough to V5 storytellers. Let your Kindred know fear for once.

A helpful tool if the SI are involved in your Chronicle
Not only is this a visually appealing book with some really awesome illustrations, but there is a wealth of information on the types of "Coalition" Hunters that will be antagonizing your coterie. From the various types of Hunters to the weapons and equipment they use to their procedures and tactics they might use. There is even an Response Algorithm sort of like the one used in the Anarch sourcebook. There is also a section that covers what the various organizations around the world with more acronyms than a bowl of alphabet soup. The Second Inquisition book does feel similar to the Sabbat sourcebook in the sense that it is like a "monster manual" so if you weren't thrilled with that book you might not like this one. I know that folks want more options to play as Sabbat or SI characters in stories and that these books don't necessarily show you how officially but I could see how a creative ST might be able to brew a way and use information in these antagonist books to do so. I was disappointed that there wasn't a PDF code in the back of the book but I guess it is what it is.
