Review by rngwrldngnr
Unfortunately between the anti-mind goblin mechanics, and what feels like an intentionally underwhelming ending, at least with my choices, the story didn't land well for me. [...] The setup made me think I'd love it. I'm interested in the Church faction and theology in the Neath. But the delivery rang hollow for me. The Bishops of Southwark and St. Fiacre are interesting characters, but they're mostly absent here. Instead we get two candidates for Bishop and the Gentleman of the Marsh (implied to be the personification of Watchmaker’s Hill but possibly just someone steeped in their culture). They all seem like they could be interesting, but there's too little time spent developing any of them.
