There's no inherent problem with it, but it's written exclusively for Persona rules with very little in the way of actual detail or any consideration for what happens if the PCs find another solution. The first is the section 'Of Landgraves and Landgrabs', where we briefly return to book 2 meta to once again step into a stagnant and neglected part of Taldor and start to try and convince the locals that our way is the best way, and win them over the benefit from local knowledge in order to locate something which could easily be handled in myriad other ways at this level. My complaint is that both of these particular setpieces feel incredibly tacked on for the sake of the Persona system, and actually either bear no relevance to the wider AP, or could have been handled without it. This isn't my complaint in and of itself, since it was my choice not to use it. In this book, there are two entire setpieces (and one entire Part) which entirely rely on use of that subsystem. Until now, it was largely a background system which would bring good benefits for groups who cared to use, but the content available was sufficient that scenarios could easily be handled without using it. That's not a criticism of the system or its use in the AP, well, it wouldn't have been until this book. In our case, we did not feel it would be a good fit. We're not overly keen on subsystems and abstractions, and favor detail and roleplay in all situations. I was lukewarm on the idea, and after discussing it with my players, we decided it would not be fun for our particular group's way of playing.
