Who May Not Like This Book:
If you aren't a fan of lots of stat sheets, game charts, or slower pacing due to settlement micromanagement, this might not be your cup of tea. The book has some noticeable spelling and formatting errors, and occasionally awkward info delivery can disrupt immersion. Some readers found certain character relationships and dialogue lacking and called out a few off-color remarks. If you prefer a fast-moving plot or aren't keen on genre clichés, you might find yourself impatient at times.
