The printing quality on this is good enough for me. It was damaged in shipping a bit, but not enough for me to give a damn. Also, said damage was UPS' fault, not DriveThruRPG.

I did have to wait several weeks to get this, and I'm a gen Z whose sense of patience has been ruined by ADHD and the Internet, so that's honestly the only reason I'm not giving 5/5.

As far as the content of the book itself? This is White Wolf in the late 90s/early 00s, in a game line called Demon: the Fallen. It's poorly written edgy schlock, and I could not love it more. I'm pretty sure somewhere in here Lucifer admits he created Christianity with the help of an awakened Mage named Yeshua to take power away from the Earthbound demons, including IIRC a demon named YHWH, and that's some of the stupidest crap I've ever heard. And you know what? I LOVE IT. This kind of thing is super subjective, though, so your mileage may vary.

It is an excellent WoD sourcebook in my opinion. Since it deals with dark aspects of human nature and modern society it is not very WOKE. If you want WOKE, I would suggest that you play D&D 5.

Of the demon books I've read so far, this is far and away the worst. And it doesn't even spend much time on history compared to the others! So far, it's had some really shitty editing (identical sentences appearing in several places, some minor grammatical issues) but, as always with demon, the number on issue is cultural insensitivity. Though in this case, it's not even something related to demons! It's just referring to a group of black people as "blacks" (specifically a "gang of blacks" which is actually SO MUCH WORSE)

The rest of the book is mostly just piles of characters and a bit of structure for the local Fallen. There are really only two things of significance in the book: metaplot involving Lucifer (though some of that falls to some of the published fiction) and the structure of the Infernal Court. The latter is the only real saving grace of the book, putting in the political structure that the Fallen would generally fall into in print and in detail. This piece is near essential for Demon players and STs, though the rest of the book can safely be ignored if you aren't running your game in Los Angeles, and even then, may not be of great value.
