Fulminata reviewed The heart of the wild by Gareth Hanrahan
Review of 'The heart of the wild' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A closer look at the Anduin Vale and Mirkwood, roughly two thirds of the area initially covered by the One Ring RPG.
There's a lot of good background detail and adventure hooks here. Not a lot of crunch, but there is a bestiary, a couple of new sanctuaries, and a number of location specific undertakings for the fellowship phase.
The book is largely meant to be a companion to the Darkening of Mirkwood, but as I've not yet read that book I can't evaluate it in that context. On it's own it's a useful addition to the information contained in the core rules.
Edit: Now that I've read The Darkening of Mirkwood, I can add that this does a good job of describing the state of the region as it exists at the beginning of that campaign.
