Closing Thoughts. The cover art is use twice and that is the only artwork in the book. There is a few side bars explaining why some things was done by the author. This time unlike the last one in the series it is a lot more printer friendly. I thought the feats where better this time with none I couldn't see someone taking and many are up there with some of the better feats in the game. I don't think any are over powered though a few are on the high end of the scale with Paizo's feats.
My only real complaints about the book is, it still could have been more print friendly. The faint arcane background images look cool and would not be bad on a printer but I would have still liked to seen a true print friendly version as well. The other complaint is there was something screwy with the copy and paste. While trying to copy and paste the names of the feats to this review it kept having copy errors. I am not sure what could be causing it and none of my other PDF's have this problem. Both are fairly minor issues.
My rating this time falls as follows. For those looking for more options for witch's and advice for builds then this is a 5 star. For those just looking for some new options for the witch then this is a 4.5 star. For the rest I still say it is a 3 star as many of the feats can be used by other classes and they are well done.
