(For future reference, this review was written when the contingencies for only Pharasma and Asmodeus were available)
Firstly, I love that this product even exists, as the story potential of any god dying is immense. The Return to Service ritual is great as it grants more plot hooks to the game.
The Pharasmin options, while not numerous, are very thematic (the aftermath feat is particularly potent but with the access requirement and frequency my limited understanding of PF2E clocks it as "fairly balanced.")
The Asmodean contingency options are also dripping with lore implications, and the Potent Analysis feat looks funky. The star of this section however is the Contract Overrider archetype. It gives characters a reason to invest in Society, and there's more use of counteracting mechanics. The modularity of the feats in this archetype is very lovely, and you now have the character option of playing an Ars Grammatica Lawyer Wizard. Very funky. Ihys gets a deity statblock, and the Korvosa Comma edict is the funniest thing I've read in a statblock. A god of law would, of course, command his followers to punctuate properly. 5 stars just for that and I'm not even joking.
