Martin Klimes of Arcane comments that "this book is an unequivocal success, and if you have any inclination to play a half-crazed, shadowy Sabbat schemer from Marrakesh or Madrid then you are unlikely to regret spending your money on it. Even accepting the proviso above, referees too can benefit greatly from its contents." [2]
