208 pages is simply not enough space to properly cover six nations. Avalon suffers from the design choice not to recognize that Inismore and the Highland Marches should receive suitable representation in the book. Lumping them in with the Avalon section just doesn't work with the page count allotted to them.
Inismore receives three pages of dedicated space. The Marches gets about four. Rather than being fleshed-out, these islands are merely paraphrased.
If the Glamour Isles is not a big selling point to you, then perhaps you'll find this book a worthwhile purchase as it is more forgiving to the sections covering Castille, Montaigne, and Vesten. Still, when compared to the Nations books from 1st Edition or to the wonderful Pirate Nations book released for 2nd Edition, this is just too thin on content for me to recommend.
