SUMMARY

like Mythic Britain & Ireland but I do have some issues with the book. For one, the gazetteer portion of the book is not very in depth and we just get some bite sized nuggets about locales in the U.K. I also feel there is way too much white space in the book and it almost feels like it ends up where the page count is artificially inflated. I do think the three adventures are very solid and give the book just as solid a recommendation.
