Now, please, take this as intended, YMWV.
The work is extremely well-done and put together with obvious care. The subclasses, abilities, political structure, magic-&-technology, new monsters/foes/allies and the entirety of Nexus and the Veil hold together incredibly well and present their story in a sound and coherent manner.
But, for me, that is, in and of itself, part of the problem.
The work is so tightly structured that unless you can slot New and the entire backstory of the cataclysm and such into your world(s) of play it is difficult to use it as the whole cloth it is manufactured to be and intended to be uses as. While it might be possible to take isolated elements—be that a subclass, creature, magic item, technology—intro a different world, I fear that that item would suffer from being separated from the whole. While it is always possible to remove a single thread from a tapestry, it is virtually impossible for that single thread to convey the richness of the whole. And certainly, the whole would suffer from the loss visibly, if only on closer inspection. That is unfortunate but shows how well integrated the entire work is.
And is, also, just a foretaste of the entire world of Nexus to come in the future books. It is likely to continue to improve.
Thanks!
