I really enjoyed this. Dealing With Your Demons is an adventure designed for DnD 5e, though it's largely setting agnostic to the point that the concepts and characters in play could fairly easily be fitted to an older edition, Pathfinder, or the fantasy game of one's choice.
The crux of the adventure rests on playing with and subverting typical expectations and DnD archetypes (in this case Kobolds as evil fodder). This is done as a means to tell a story of consequence and morality, while still making for a fun fantasy yarn, and this book does a beautiful job of it.
Speaking of beautiful, the art is absolutely gorgeous, both the cover and the interior pieces, and the colors absolutely pop in the print edition. Apart from the convenience of having a physical book in one's hand, one could easily justify going print on demand with this one purely to get a close-up look at some of the line work.
The adventure isn't incredibly lengthy, but it's very well written and reasonably priced for what you're given, and it's the sort of story that could easily be slotted into an existing campaign. In fact, its themes of consequence and of things not being what they seem could be the perfect mix up in an otherwise traditional campaign.
In all, I would absolutely recommend picking this up. High Level Games consistently puts out good stuff, and Dealing With Your Demons is no exception.
