Sometimes a book simply has to do its job. This book is a classic case of that. This is a prayer book designated to the Black Dragon praxis, and it does that job. That said, given the depth, detail, and artwork that came in all of the other books, I personally would have liked to equally see that reflected in this book, even if it is smaller. It's a fine book for what it is, but if you aren't already deep in or for someone expecting the same level of depth as the other books in this series, this is definitely a step down.
