I like how the books are done, I like that there are different themes and a consistent, cohesive story. I’m guessing this is due to the more “limited” nature of this expansion compared to Gloomhaven (“only” about 20 scenarios?) But I can’t give it the 10 I give Gloomhaven or Jaws of the Lion. Some of the adventures just seem a little too “gimmicky”.

The expansion revolves around the new Diviner character, which is really boring to play as. It's primarily a support character, but many of her mechanics (the rift tokens and teleportation) are confusing and either underpowered or completely pointless. As a result, no one in my group ever wants to play as her. The new scenarios are complicated, require multiple phases of setup, are full of obtuse puzzles, and frequently involve translating more of those stupid runes with a decoder key that everyone hated in the original game. It all slows things to a halt and you'll be lucky to finish one of these scenarios in the same time as two of the older ones, with half the level of enjoyment. A big disappointment for a great base game.
