I'd first like to say that I don't play Pathfinder. This means that I have no opinion on the mechanics of this product, only the fluff and the overall quality. That said, here goes;

I could sum things up and simply say, "buy this," but who would listen to that sort of thing? I'm not going to lie and say that this is the best RPG product I have ever read or purchased because it's not. It's closer to the top of the list than the bottom, though. The book is about a kind of creature from Japanese myth that is interesting and, until now, hasn't gotten this sort of in-depth treatment anywhere (at least as far as I know). The writer is from the Kaidan (Japanese based horror setting) patronage, too, where special attention is being paid to accuracy while still making things good for gameplay. I can assure you of this because I am a patron.

The artwork is also not bad. Really, to see better artwork in an RPG product you'd have to go for one that spent more time in development (this book happened quickly) and had artists hired that focused more on this sort of subject matter (a good deal of the illustration was done by the creator of Kaidan, who is a fantastic cartographer). And for that, you would be paying more than this for the product. The images convey the feelings that they probably should and go above simply getting the point across.

To conclude, I'd like to just say, "buy this". The writing is solid, the artwork is solid, and even if you don't play the system (which you likely do if you're reading this) you can get some enjoyment from this product. Also, it came from Kaidan, which is worth supporting (though it can be used in other settings and a kappa is a European style setting would probably be pretty cool). I think the product is good regardless and unless you have no money for game products right now, it is well worth the $3.99 asking price.
