A solid but not as phenomenal as the mid arc finish up. The eighth city suffers from being fun, but not as cool as the plot before it. However, it does end well on all fronts and sets up the next run rather well. It feels a bit like the run was cut short for some reason. Yet it also is decidedly still the best iron fist run I’ve come across. When it comes to delivering on flavour, art, progressing the character and the world building, nothing else comes close; certainly nothing in the last couple decades, anyway.
