This book contains the history and secrets of the enigmatic Sluagh. Shunned and looked down upon by most of the other Kiths in general, a deep and probing look is given to the reclusive Kith with reviews of the other Kith from their perspective, information on great Sluagh 'heros' and a dreaded secret every changeling player should know...
If i had to choose a book out of the ones I've read abut Changeling, I'd choose this one. Why? It's simple: the information is not only interesting but also very ample. Before I read this book I tought that sluaghs were just ugly, smelly and disgusting faeries. Who wants to play a character that cannot raise its voice above a whisper? Now, I'm grateful I overcame my prejudices: sluaghs are far more than that. Useful for those who love secrecy, and mystery, and the darker side of the Dreaming.
It's just beautiful. Beautiful. Chock full of good and useful information. What secrets do the Sluagh hide? What do the Sluagh know? What new and exciting merits do the Sluagh have? All contained in one in colour book! Find out, buy this book! It's a must have!
Of all the Changeling books I own, this has to be one of the more disappointing, esp. because, as a long-time player, I was very fond of sluagh as a kith. I found the artwork to be far too 'cute' to take seriously, and the opening story, while entertaining, contradicted much of the Player's Guide, and corebook impressions of the kith. Instead of their 'Whispers' Flaw having been born from 'Whispers being more terrifying than a shout' (Player's Guide), we have a tale of their voices having been bats slain by the Tuatha as revenge. We are told of secret Seelie-Unseelie Wars, when WW canon until then had been Kith solidarity, no matter what. The reason and motives behind Wraith/Sluagh linkage was changed...again. And murder by Iron for talking too much? Puh-leeze.This is not to say the book had NO redeeming qualities. It DID have interesting sections on Abbey Lubbers (sluagh that punished the wicked rich) Truth (and why it is important), and Wheelings and Dealings (How their network works) that seemed to keep to the spirit, and was entertaining.However, the editing was a bit sloppy; the Flaw, 'Knows Too Much,' was left in by mistake. It was intended to have been cut. As it is, the book contradicts ITSELF, with tales of reincarnated 'Sluagh of Note' in the back.One somewhat redeeming quality I found in the book was in the Merits and Flaws, which, on the whole, were decent. Excepting the editing error.As a whole, however, for creatures of born of darkest Nightmare, of whisperers in the dark and things that slither and Watch, I was left with far too warm and fuzzy of a feeling. And having expected something perhaps a bit more...horrifying...this rather compounded my sense of disappointment.
