I've read through this book and played about three sessions with a Castoff, here is my honest review:
First of all, the lore of this supplement is awesome, I love the references to real world folklores and mythologies, there's lots and lots of fun research rabbit holes to jump down. The contrast between gloamspun, who usually choose their half-fae status, and eventide, who don't and are caught between worlds from birth, is so much fun to explore in-game and makes for great roleplaying. I love playing my Castoff and my next character will also be an Eventide for sure.
Fair warning for people planning to buy this supplement: It doesn't come with its own character sheet, and the default one that TGD comes with wasn't made with Eventide characters in mind. You'll probably end up having to cross out and rewrite a lot of the Gloamspun sheet, or make one custom for your character.
Overall, I'd say this is a great supplement for people who have played TTRPGs and The Gloaming Diaries before and are okay with making a sheet from scratch, but I wouldn't recommend it for a first-time player or for a one-shot.

Kyle Weems and his dashingly handsome ghost writer have done it again in what is a 3 supplement pile up of back to back series bests!
😀 Awwww, thanks!
