D&D 5E Storm King's Thunder - short rests?

[Blue]

Got a question and I'm looking for a non-spoilery answer.

Just about to start SKT at my FLGS and I'm thinking about a Halfling Monk, which regains Ki on short rests. How is the adventure on those?

It seems that some adventures don't really encourage classes based around short rests. Either once your in the action it's non-stop with no chance to recharge or that it's only 1-2 encounters in a day and a character that can recharge several times never gets a chance to shine compared to daily resource characters like casters.

I'm just looking to avoid gimping myself with class choice, not trying to munchkin out.

I'd say it is weighted more toward situations that will end up as one encounter days (e.g. big battles, wilderness encounters) and less toward "dungeon" type adventuring where short rests are more common. Personally I don't think it is to the point where a short rest class would be "gimped" but if you are particularly concerned about measuring up with other characters you may want to reconsider your choice.
