The first half of it (Galath's Roost itself) is excellent. A good starting module to get a party going, especially if you plan on remaining in the Dalelands.
The second half looks better on paper than it did playing through it.
spoiler******************************
As a DM I had to fudge more die rolls than I would have liked to. There were way too many Zhent guards for a small party of four, it just felt repetitive. Some of the Zhents, I enhanced for more flavor particularly Suddilis (increased his level by 1 and changed some spells) and Murzim. There were also too many non-essential personnel like the apprentices and extra acolytes (one of each would have been better).
Other NPCs like Kurud the Gold Dragon Wyrmling were overkill. I had Inialos Oakwood (Elf) and Gwennect Moondark (Drow) found in the same cell with Inialos dead, which made the Elven PCs of the party a bit jumpy since they thought that Gwennect may have had a hand in Inialos' death. Besides I didnt need all these damn npcs joining the party for the last battle with Suddilis.
Gwennect has amazing potential to tie up my campaign very tightly though.
I suggest playing just the first half, and if you fall a little shy of 3rd level, add a few random encounters outside and inside the Ruins. Then move on...
