"...Friends & Familiars is still a decent book. It gives you time, because you won’t have to work on designing the characters yourself. Like its predecessor, it’s a bit slim on the number of characters/creatures presented, compared to other products that cram hundreds into a dozen pages. But what this book has that those don’t are the pictures and descriptions. How do those commercials go? "100 words = 100 words. A picture = 1000 words. The look on your players’ faces when this undead creature turns out to be a Chaotic Good Ranger = priceless." Or something like that." Read the review by Kithmaker at Mortality

"The artwork by Jason Engle and James Byrd is again stunning and matches with the story presented. There is nothing I hate more than bad illustrations that don’t match the character. The character story information is mostly original. I especially liked Dusk the mastiff in that was sent from the plane of shadow. He has his own agenda and sometimes clashes with his master."  Read the Reviews by Brad Mix and John Grigsby at the d20 Magazine Rack

"Friends and Familiars is one of those books that can lift a struggling GM out of a rut." Read the full review by Wyrdmaster at Gamewyrd

"This book is a real eye pleaser. The artwork is stunning and the layout could hardly been better. Each creature is given a generous two pages where they are depicted and described in detail. Each comes complete with hooks, statistics and background information." Read the full review at RPG United
