This product was initially flawed and problematic, but has since been revised and updated, removing or correcting most of its glaring flaws, making it much higher quality product. It is much easier to recommend this product now.
The art is good and the production values are excellent. The new races seem balanced and in line with existing 5th Edition content. The gnoll and lizardfolk are easy additions to anyone's campaign.
Even if you don't have use for the werelions, they provide a nice template for how to design lycanthrope PCs, and the related sorcerer bloodline is a lot of fun.
The are also a lot of new backgrounds included. While designed to match the flavour of the Southlands, most are generic enough to easily fit into any campaign setting with moderate effort.
Some of the presentation of the races is more in line with Pathfinder than 5e. Several races swap out racial traits rather than relying on subclasses, which is a little odd. It's not broken but not ideal. And the new class options are tucked away in the races, which makes them a little awkward to find.
