Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden by Chris Perkins

3.5

---

Rime of the Frostmaiden has some fun modules, but they are tenuously connected (at best) and make for an absurdly overstuffed whole. Stopping the titular Auril is such a small part of the book, and while her encounters are interesting, they aren't even written as the climax. Rather than pretending this is an adventure with one overarching plot, it makes more sense to think of it more as a settings sourcebook with lots of material to create a custom adventure or campaign.
