Overall this is a great primer for anyone new to the setting of A Song of Ice and Fire with lots of surface details on all the major locations in the series as well as many minor ones. Included are sections depicting life in Westeros in the various regions as well as a comprehensive history for each along with brief rundowns of known major and minor noble houses. Along with the fluff are statistics for the major characters.
As for what this guide is lacking, the complete lack of statistics for any of the houses or even a listing of their forces is sorely missing and enough for me to shave a star off of what would overwise have easily been a five star product. Overall I'd still reccommend this product even to non role players who are fans of the novels or the show.
