Arcane Secrets of the Summoners has a lot of material and additions for each class. I have read every subclass and all the features and feats in the book, most of the latter pertaining to the summoners specifically. They are all unique and offer many choices to fit the playstyle anyone may wish. It was a little confusing at first, but with subsequent reads, it all comes together to form a wonderful book of summoners. If you and/or you're playgroup are looking for a true summoner, instead of playing wizards or sorcerers that summon, I highly recommend this entry in Creed's Codex.
This is a truly different addition to the almost 50 year legacy of D&D (actually Advanced D&D technically, by no reason to quibble over WotC/Hasbro mangled terminology). On the one hand the abilities evidenced in the writing and the careful crafting of the classes and subclasses is first rate and the summoner's created thereby are something lacking this type of depth in the WotC worlds, or they are lacking completely. On the other hand, that said, it is not necessarily an easy "pick up" and even more difficult if trying to fit into a non-WotC world. Depending on the design of the magic system, planes, how summonings work or DON'T in a world, the outcome may be different from that envisions in the Rules As Written (RAW). But on the gripping hand, this is not to say that it is not worth the trouble to thoroughly read the RAW and see what adaptation(s) might be required or simply be wise in a home-brew world. But, this is the nature of all materials that might be applied to a home-brew world/campaign.
Overall, the material is extremely well done and has a strong and unique flavor that adds to the D&D universe very well. Whether you use it as RAW or a starting point which needs modification to work with your home-brew campaigns it is a worthy addition
And now I have One and it's amazing
Class and subclasses are very well written with tons of options, personal favorites are colossus and hivemind
Thanks, Dylan! Colossus was the first one I built. Who doesn't want a giant companion?!

This book has it all! New skills, spells, obviously class, and is incredibly well put together. I have the PDF and can't wait to get my hands on the physical copy. One of the first 3rd party books I bought for 5e and I am hooked.
Thanks, Daniel!
Stoked you're enjoying it! You certainly helped root out any issues with it during the playtesting after the Kickstarter campaign!

The summoners is a great addition to the 5e 3rd party content! Knight Vision Creative dots a great job reviewing and testing content and details from fan submitted content.
Thanks, Justin! You all have such amazing ideas. Inspiration is just a discord message away!
-Brendan
The class alone has a bunch of options for building, but then the subclasses crank it to 11. On top of that, the new spells feats and items are a lot of fun.
Thanks, Bones!
I'm super stoked to see the additional summoner subclass come to life in the Awakened Mind add-on from our last campaign!
-Brendan
Amazing, this is the class I have always wanted to play in a table top environment! Thank you so much for this fantastic work~
This is a fantastic book. Each subclass has so much flavor, and your imagination is not only unlimited, but also heavily encouraged!
Amazeing work, well balanced should be lots of fun to play
