Not wanting to repeat myself, refer to the review for Denizens of Earthdawn: Volume 1, as the same comments stand here as they did for the previous volume.
This volume deals with obsidimen, trolls, dwarves and orks in a similar way to the previous volume, and the standards haven't dropped. Together, these two volumes form a coherent whole.
Summary: This volume, along with the Barsaive Campaign Set and Denizens of Earthdawn: Volume 1, forms an indispensable trilogy of information on Barsaive and its inhabitants which is a must for all Games Masters.
