3 out of 5 rating for Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide
There's a lot of good stuff in this book, don't get me wrong. As someone who hasn't spent a lot of time with the Forgotten Realms, this was useful. The religion & deity info was useful, the history of the region and the nations were all good. However its a pretty thin book for the cost. The map is gorgeous, but small and lacks a scale. Also I'm not a big fan of the other artwork in the book - it feels a little cartoony at times and is not up to the level of the other books in my opinion.
