Abigail ★★★★★

The handouts and in-world documents scattered through this book make prepping a session so much easier—I just read a few entries and the whole scenario writes itself. My players actually got invested in the lore for once instead of just rolling dice.

Claire Y. ★★★★★

The bestiary being written as Mandy Thompson's actual research notes makes it so much easier to drop into a session than a standard monster list. My players spent twenty minutes just reading the entries for the flavor alone, which never happens at my table.

Alexander O. ★★★★☆

Mandy Thompson’s narrative approach to the bestiary is a refreshing change from just stat blocks. The hardcover is nicely bound, though I wish it had a few more pages for some of the deeper lore. Still, it’s added a lot of flavor to our sessions.
