Decent
I'm still reading the book as I write this, so my thoughts may change, but thus far this is my least favorite of V5 thus far. There are some interesting ideas, some useful plot hooks, but it just seems a lot to stretch into a full book given the price of the rulebooks these days. On to a point others have mentioned, the book is practically an invitation to real world bleed, and while it is addressed in the book, it seems to be under emphasized on how intense and problematic it can be (as a long time ST for a LARP, I've had to deal with that subject in the past). Still, there are some cool ideas in the book if you want to pursue romance/sexual plotlines.
