This is an excellent adventure book, that improves on the rather linear first episode (though Emissary Lost already featured some content that allowed the GM to expend on the primary story and re-use locations for their own stories).

As always with Coriolis products, the presentation is excellent : wonderful and evocative art, lots of game aids, well-made references, table of content and indexes.

The Last Cyclade continues the Mercy of the Icons campaign with two big scenarios and four mini-adventures and locations, but also provides the GM with a lot of material and background to design their own adventures around the major intrigues. All of this content supports a very fluid second act of the campaign, giving the players the options to travel to many different locations, associate with different factions, betray them and pursue their own objectives. I feel like this can also be used to make up your own campaign revolving around some of the major secrets of the setting.

It seems that the Last Cyclade gets a lot of backlash for its third act. Personnaly, i think it leads to an interesting climax, which will move the story in an unexpected way for the players and precipitate the resolution of events, despite its railroaded and traumatic nature. If you hate it, I feel like the book provides more than enough material and details on the background to help you alter it, give options to the players to prevent it and take the story in another direction.
