I've only browsed through a copy - I should be picking up mine tomorrow.
Here's my impressions
The presentation is up to the standard we've come to expect from the recent Issaries products (except for one nasty typo I noticed).
It has a bit more background material for Lunars and Heortlings than the main rulebook. More importantly it has advice for players, and sample characters.
For someone who intends only to play in a game I would say that it is a cheaper and - at least at the start - more useful alternative to the main rulebook.
For a new GM it is something that is immediately useful, as well as providing a taster for the more detailed background books.
For a GM who already has the background material it is a good book to loan to players, instead of passing round the main rulebook.
