I especially like the way it's back third addresses not only new character options, but also parses how the races & classes 'fit' in the Realms.
That being said, I'm not sure I am a huge fan of this in-depth look at locales. Its not that it is a hard read (I think the writing is fine and fairly entertaining), its just that I miss the little paragraph snippets on a bunch of locales... any of which may spark my imagination.
Also, it feels by focusing in deeply on fewer places, that the Realms seems smaller--there is so much excluded, even within the Sword Coast, that I think even a page or 2 dedicated to potential ruins, adventuring sites, and small towns would have helped 'flesh' the region out more.
Small concerns. Not harping. And, the design/story teams are still feeling things out obviously.
