I've so far read the first thirty pages of the 256-page adventure module. Within the first thirty pages, I should be excited, intrigued, wanting to read further, imagining the cool encounters and shenanigans of the players and enemies and NPC's. This was the case with both Out of the Abyss and Curse of Strahd.
So far, the first thirty pages has so much useless, redundant, page-filling nonsense, that it could easily be condensed down to 5 pages and be more coherent and useful as adventure information. Of what I've read, the only thing that interests me so far is that giants are involved, somehow, in the very distant future. I'm genuinely struggling to read through it simply due to sheer boredom. Most of this content will be dealt with in just a few words to the players, mostly consisting of the phrase, "Nothing to see here."
Please tell me it gets better? 220-odd more pages of this isn't something I'm looking forward to slogging through. What are other peoples thoughts on this module?
